Compile errors using sstream

[Kurt Kohler]

When I include <sstream> (which I've done before in other files) I get the following compile errors:

/usr/include/c++/4.1.3/bits/stl_bvector.h: In member function ‘void std::vector<bool, _Alloc>::_M_insert_range(std::_Bit_iterator, _ForwardIterator, _ForwardIterator, std::forward_iterator_tag)’:

It looks like the underlying problem is that it can't find std::max.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I can send a bit of my code if it would help.

Only a bit probably won't help, as it might not show the part that
causes the error.  Can you produce a small testcase in a single file
that still produces the error?

You might be defining a macro that clashes with something in the headers;
"max" for example.

Ah ha! I think that's it! I'm modifying old code (not mine!) and it  
does define max and min macros.

I'll fix it and let you know what happens.

Thanks for the help!

That was it. It turns out the min and max macros weren't even being used
any more, so I just deleted them.

Thanks again.
