Karel Kočí 9f4b4faf47 libs/libc: add limits checks
NuttX defines constants for the sizes of types just as constants
directly in the code. The real values depend on compiler and target
platform. It is possible that value declared by NuttX header is wrong
compared to the compiler configuration. This is more likely in case of
floating points.

Not all compilers supported by NuttX provide required info through
defines and thus it is more generic to specify limits as constants, but
in case compiler provides them then it is a good idea to compare. This
commit adds such set of comparisons for limits.h and float.h constants.

The comparisons were tested with GCC and Clang. They will be ignored in
case compiler doesn't provide them.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).

For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.

Getting Started

First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.

Documentation

You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.

Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.

The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.

Supported Boards

NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
