[Bug manual/5461] New: LONG_LONG_MAX vs LLONG_MAX in range-of-type section of manual

[virdiq at gmail dot com]

It appears that the current online manual refers to LONG_LONG_MAX and
ULONG_LONG_MAX at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Range-of-Type.html#Range-of-Type

Instead of LLONG_MAX and ULLONG_MAX as defined in limits.h (checked against
2.6.1 and 2.7).

LONG_LONG_MAX/ULONG_LONG_MAX aren't defined in limits.h as the manual seems to
indicate.

[Bug manual/5461] LONG_LONG_MAX vs LLONG_MAX in range-of-type section of manual

LONG_LONG_* defines are from the time before C99 standardized to LLONG_* 
defines.  I.e. the current manual seems about 10 years obsolete, I think it's 
time to refresh it...

These obsolete defines are used also elsewhere in the manual, for example here:
http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Parsing-of-Integers.html

Should be trivial to fix with 's/LONG_LONG_/LLONG_/g' on the whole manual.


I think this should be pretty safe to do as when I grepped the glibc header 
files for LONG_LONG_, I got only this:
/usr/include/endian.h:# define __LONG_LONG_PAIR(HI, LO) LO, HI
/usr/include/endian.h:# define __LONG_LONG_PAIR(HI, LO) HI, LO
/usr/include/limits.h:#  define LLONG_MAX       __LONG_LONG_MAX__

so I don't think there to be any valid instances of LONG_LONG_ in the manual, 
except maybe in the history section, if it has such...
