Thread: Windows.h interfering with max(); (for clearing input buffer)

cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::m ax(), '\n');

So the above code is used for clearing the input buffer and it works great.

But when I include <windows.h> then I get all sorts of errors relating to "max()", you can see for yourself.

How do I use the line above mentioned without having windows.h interfere with it while still having windows.h included to the program?

Doing a websearch, the top result tackled the issue.

Damn adrian what did you search? You need to train me in your Googling skills!

By the way since we're here is
cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail());

a better way to clear the cin buffer?
