>Description:
  The definitions of UCHAR_MAX and USHRT_MAX in <limits.h> are U-suffixed
hexadecimal constants.  This does not conform to the C standard (C90 and C99).
The standard requires they have the same type as would have integer-
promoted objects of type "unsigned char" and "unsigned short", i.e. type
"int".  However with U suffixes the constants have type "unsigned int".
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
  Redefine as unsuffixed hex constants, which are always correct for the
integer promotions, regardless of the relative sizes of char, short and
int.
