/usr/include/c++/3.2/bits/basic_string.tcc:713: parse error before `(' token

[Per Jessen]

All,

being new to this list, I don't know if is this the right place
to ask, but here we go.
I believe there is a problem in /usr/include/c++/3.2/bits/basic_string.tcc -
see excerpt from a listing below.


Line 713 reads

__pos = std::min(__size - __n, __pos);

but I believe this should be

__pos = min(__size - __n, __pos);

Am I right in thinking that min is a macro and not part of the "std"
namespace ? I saw some discussion related to this on gcc-bugs, but I
didn't see anyone actually calling it a bug. Or am I doing something
wrong ?
