I tested the problem with this simple snippet:
#include <boost/minmax.hpp> int foo() { return boost::std_min(3, 4); }
The error goes away when I replace
using std::min; return min BOOST_PREVENT_MACRO_SUBSTITUTION ( a, b );
by
return std::min(a, b);
The problem with the above is that it is not semantically equivalent. The first does argument-dependent lookup, the second does not. I'll be ripping out std_min/std_max in the next few days, but I'll essentially be replacing it with: using std::min; return min BOOST_PREVENT_MACRO_SUBSTITUTION ( a, b ); everywhere. gcc-2.95/STLPort will not be happy with this, I assume. I don't have this platform to test on. I need to understand what the problem is so I can work around it. Can someone with access to this platform tell me what the problem is? Is min/max not in the std:: namespace? What is the issue, exactly? Thanks. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
