/*
* We need to compute the minimum and maximum values representable in a given
* type. These macros may also be useful elsewhere. It would seem more obvious
* to do something like:
*
* #define type_min(T) (T)(is_signed_type(T) ? (T)1 << (8*sizeof(T)-1) : 0)
* #define type_max(T) (T)(is_signed_type(T) ? ((T)1 << (8*sizeof(T)-1)) - 1 : ~(T)0)
*
* Unfortunately, the middle expressions, strictly speaking, have
* undefined behaviour, and at least some versions of gcc warn about
* the type_max expression (but not if -fsanitize=undefined is in
* effect; in that case, the warning is deferred to runtime...).
*
* The slightly excessive casting in type_min is to make sure the
* macros also produce sensible values for the exotic type _Bool. [The
* overflow checkers only almost work for _Bool, but that's
* a-feature-not-a-bug, since people shouldn't be doing arithmetic on
* _Bools. Besides, the gcc builtins don't allow _Bool* as third
* argument.]
*
* Idea stolen from
* https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-misc/2007/02/05/0000.html -
* credit to Christian Biere.

- Immediate include surface: `linux/compiler.h`, `linux/limits.h`, `linux/const.h`.
- Detected declarations: `function __must_check_overflow`, `function range_end_overflows_t`, `function size_add`, `function size_sub`, `function __struct_size`.

- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
