Subject: [ruby-core:50708] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7517] Fixnum::MIN,MAX


Issue #7517 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).


Still, I'm not sure what problem (in mruby?) is resolved by the existence of Fixnum::MAX. 

How:

  n3 = n1 + n2
  raise "unboxed" if n3 > Fixnum::MAX

differs from:

  n3 = n1 + n2
  raise "unboxed" if !n3.instance_of?(Fixnum)

?  Just easier to read?

Feature #7517: Fixnum::MIN,MAX

Maximum (or minimum) number of fixnum can not be get in portable fashion, so I propose Fixnum::MAX and Fixnum::MIN just like Float::MAX and Float::MIN.
