Hi Chris and all,
We have ran into similar problems before, though in cases where min and
max appeared as functions in other header files on OS X, in conflict
with STL headers - a combination of header file order arrangement and
using ::min and ::max solved that problem. This seems different.
After doing a quick google search, we find the following:
"It's a known, long-standing bug in the compiler system's headers. For
some reason the manufacturer, in its infinite wisdom, chose to #define
macros min() and max() in violation of the upper-case convention and so
break any legitimate functions with those names, including those in the
standard C++ library."
and
"This is a problem with windows.h, it includes the min() and max()
macros which can easily screw over c++. Define NOMINMAX before
windows.h is included and the problem goes away."
I think this may be what Immanuel was referring to. One quick
potential solution is to add NOMINMAX as a define in your project
settings or makefile. Another way is to manually add #define NOMINMAX
before all windows.h includes (I grep and see 3 in include/ and 2 in
src/). These are still hacks (assuming NOMINMAX solves the problem),
but are probably better than swapping out your valarray!
Hope this helps.
Best,
Ge!
