Correct, semi-constrained integer does not seem to be managed properly.
This matches the comment found in line 1283.

IMHO you can't without changing the API. Maybe we would need to extra
booleans indicating whether the min and / or max values are bounded or not,
and adapt asn2wrs generator accordingly. This way we could drop the
NO_BOUND define

Note that this sounds like a non trivial project because:
- as indicated in the comments, dissect_per_constrained_integer only handle
32 bits integers and dissect_per_constrained_integer_64b only handles 64
bits integers, so both needs to be adapted
- MIN or MAX parameters do not seem properly handled in other types also,
and any change done in dissect_per_constrained_integer(_64b) needs to be
reflected in the caller functions and any other making use of NO_BOUND

Pascal.
