I don't get it.
In Codewarrior for Mac OS 9.4, numeric_limits<unsigned char>::digits10 == 2.
Unless I don't understand it properly (most likely!) I thought digits10 was
supposed to represent the number of digits (in base 10) a value of this type
needs. In that case, shouldn't digits10 be 3 for an unsigned char (i.e. 255
can be represented using 3 base 10 digits?), 5 for a 16-bit unsigned short,
10 for 32-bit unsigned int, etc.??
Whereas, in Codewarrior they are 2, 4 and 9 respectively.
The C++ spec (14882), section 18.2.1.2 para 9 states that its 'Number of
base 10 digits that can be represented without change'
I don't think I understand the whole sentence then, but mostly the '...
without change' bit.
Would somebody be kind enough to elaborate please.
Thanks very much.

I am just guessing here, but 2 10 base digits would guarantee me 0..99,
while 3 10 base digits would guarantee me 0..999.

If std::numeric_limits<unsigned char>::digits10 were 3, it would claim that
all numbers from 0 to 999 could be represented. That's not true. unsigned
char on your system cannot represent values above 255 without slashing the
high-order bits (or, IOW, changing the value).
