Summary: Problem with "limits" header.

Initial Comment:

Operating System:  Windows Vista
Compiler Version:  3.4.5
Binutils Version:  2.20
Build Environment: Microsoft shell (cmd.exe)

Problem with "limits" header.

If the "limits" header is included AFTER "windows.h" the min() and max() macros cause compile errors.

If "limits.h" is used instead, or if "limits" is included BEFORE "windows.h", there are no errors. I suspect the problem is related to the "std" namespace.

The attached file has a sample that will generate the errors. There is also a batch file that can be used to compile the program. You may need to change the batch variable "mingwdir" to the path for mingw on your machine.

Thanks
