'max' : is not a member of 'std'

[nag123]

I am using STLPort and i get the following error. Previously i was using Standard STL.
I am compiling under VC 6.0

size_t e = (std::max)(a, b);

Compiling...
a.cpp
c:\a.cpp(12) : error C2039: 'max' : is not a member of 'std'
c:\a.cpp(12) : error C2065: 'max' : undeclared identifier

I am not able to find an equivalent of std::max in stlport library.

Any idea will be helpful...

Thanks

The general idea is to compile and run STLport's unit tests; some answers are here:  http://stlport.sourceforge.net/FAQ.shtml

Have you included required header <algorithm> ?
