Nominmax windows h

Also note that windows. Best of both worlds, no? Ah, that's probably the issue then. It's not defined by default in any Boost header as far as I can tell. I had to define it manually to be able to build with clang on Windows. I have updated the original issue with the new info if you are interested :. Skip to content. Star New issue. Jump to bottom.

Can you provide some details about how it messes up the rest of the project? I haven't had any problems with this approach.

SiCrane Where you see min, replace with std::min. Where you see max, replace with std::max. CmpDev I personally think it is bad form to force a user on the windows platform to have to define NOMINMAX, it is quite possible to use std::min and std::max when the MS macros are defined; yet on the other hand I think it is bad form on MS' behalf to have used names which are used alot in their macros.

Really, we can't see your code unless you post it. This would reduce so much confusion. Future includes always thank you for it by not spamming warnings. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. If you're really desperate, put parentheses around the function names: std::min x, y ; This syntax won't apply a function-like macro.

Or if you do not want to pollute the global namespace as much, using std::min; using std::max; may be a better solution. This may not always work with all libraries that use the macros. Thus the included libraries work and there's no global namespace pollution.
