Hi,

I'm assuming that UV_MAX (defined in perl.h) should be set to the maximum 
value that a UV can hold - ie to the value of ~0.

However, on all "use 64bit int" builds that I've tested (from perl-5.12.0 to 
perl-5.25.3) I'm finding that UV_MAX is set to 4294967295, whereas the 
maximum value a UV can hold is 18446744073709551615.

Here is the demo:

###############################

C:\_32\>type try.pl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Inline C => <<'EOC';

void foo() {
#ifdef HAS_QUAD
  printf("has quad defined\n");
#endif

#ifdef USE_64_BIT_INT
  printf("use 64bit int defined\n");
#endif

#ifndef INT64_MAX
  printf("int64_max NOT defined\n");
#endif

  printf("%u %u %u %u\n", UV_MAX, QUADKIND, QUAD_IS_INT64_T, 
PERL_UQUAD_MAX);
}

EOC

foo();

C:\_32>perl try.pl
has quad defined
use 64bit int defined
int64_max NOT defined
4294967295 3 4 4294967295

C:\_32\>perl -le "print ~0;"
18446744073709551615

What is the best portable way to obtain the maximum UV value from within XS 
?

Here is the 'perl -V' output for the perl (5.25.3)that produced the above 
results:
