Hi,

I am bringing back this blast from the past. I also need a solution for  this for the GC interface that wishes to use . I propose to do what Kim suggested - to #define max max and #define min  min. This way the innocent "max" identifiers that have nothing to do  with any macros will build as they should, and any accidental consumer  of a potential max() macro will find a compiler error as intended. Is  anyone left unhappy with this solution?

I'm not. It works fine on my end. Looking forward to have this finally fixed upstream.

Thanks, Severin
