I would like to determine the maximum `int` value in a CUDA kernel. Unfortunately I can't find anything similar to `std::numeric_limits` for CUDA. Trying to use the `::std` function results in a error:

`error : calling a __host__ function("std::numeric_limits<int> ::max") from a __global__ function("xyz_kernel") is not allowed C:\cuda.cu(153) (col. 10)`

Is there a way to determine the desired value from withing a kernel, or should I just pass it as a parameter?
