I have stripped the code down

test.cpp

#include

//#undef max #include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp"

void foo() { boost::gregorian::greg_month::max(); }

If I put #undef max before including gregorian.h then it compiles.

Without I get the errors

warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'max' error C2589: '(' illegal token on right side of '::' error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '::'

Has anyone seen this before?

Is there a workaround?

Hi Dan, I usually fight against this problem like this: void foo() { (boost::gregorian::greg_month::max)(); } Regards, Dmitry
