Where should g++ find a 'max' macro or function ?

Hi Michael,

I usually look in the C++ header files themselves.  Note:  some compilers (*cough* Microsoft *cough) are not ISO 14882 compliant/up-to-date, and may put the symbols in the incorrect header file (if not missing the sanctioned symbol entirely)... so some caution is warranted.

Or I refer to "The C++ Programming Language" (3rd ed, or special ed) by Bjarne Stroustrup.

If you are a glutton for punishment, the ISO 14882 specification is the gospel.  But it's not light reading.  Cures insomnia, though.

HTH,
