does it work with win32 MFC projects in MSVC

[rameshdk12]

Hi,
Does it work with win32 MFC projects in MSVC 17?.
I am using the neat version of dynarray.hpp

I am creating an array in global namespace as below. If I include stdafx.h it doesn't compile.

dynarray.hpp line 920 '(' illegal token on right side of :: is the first error.

//code begins
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "dynarray.hpp"

vla::dynarray<int, 3> arr(1, 1, 1, 0);

//a dummy function
void fun()
{

}

//code ends

Thanks
Ramesh D

This error is caused by the min/max macros of <windows.h> header conflict with C++ STL.
Related topics:

• #define NOMINMAX using std::min/max
• Possible problems with NOMINMAX on Visual C++
• [Belay the C++] windows.h breaks the STL (and my will to live)

Solution: The issue can be solved by adding NOMINMAX to ‘Preprocessor Definitions’:
Click on ‘Project’ in the menu bar at the top of the Visual Studio window and select ‘Properties’.
(or right click on your project in Visual Studio, select Properties)
And then goto C/C++ → Preprocessor, add NOMINMAX to ‘Preprocessor Definitions’.

Thanks for your response
The given solutions did not work for me.
I put NOMINMAX in preprocessor definitions

it was confusing the max() of limits.h with the macro max

added the following two lines in the beginning of dynarray.h

``
#undef max
#undef min

and adding following to end of dynarray..h

#ifndef max
#define max(a,b) (((a) > (b)) ? (a) : (b))
#endif

#ifndef min
#define min(a,b) (((a) < (b)) ? (a) : (b))
#endif
``

Now it compiles without errors.
