In Visual Studio 2010 Pro, I get a compile error stating "expected an identifier" on the max() portion of the command. It seems that in the windows.h header file there is a max(a,b) identifier and the compiler wants to use that.
I tried to use #include <limits> as well, but that did not fix the problem.
Is there anyway to get around this?
The
<windows.h>header has had themin()andmax()macros since time immemorial, and they frequently cause problems with C++. Fortunately, you can disable them by adding#define NOMINMAXbefore including<windows.h>.
