From: zeil@cs.odu.edu ("Steven J. Zeil") Subject: B17, min/max incompatabilities 12 Mar 1997 14:47:02 -0800 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Original-To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com The following code: #include #include int foo() {return 0;} receives a pair of compilation errors within algobase.h complaining that min and max are being used with the wrong numbers of arguments. The problem is that Defines.h (included from windows.h) #define's min and max as macros. But algobase.h defines them as template functions. The net result is that windowing programs cannot use any of the STL features. Fix: In algobase.h, add lines #undef min #undef max Steve Zeil - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
