Thread: Problem with macros and templates

That said, the solution would be, like whiteflags said, to make them template functions. They obey scope, at least, and don't give incomprehensible syntax errors everywhere.

I think the macro generates templated min/max functions, so in the end there are no lowercase macros.

Anyway, I have a theory on where the problem might be.
PREVIOUSLY: I think the problem might be that one of the projects include <algorithm>, which defines templated min/max functions.
EDIT:When I look up min() or max() i VS, they are defined as macros in WinDef.h. The problem is that no file in the project seems to include WinDef.h, at least not directly. Can this be solved with namespaces somehow?
