Is max(a,b) defined in stdlib.h or not?

Question

I\'m using two computers, each with a different version of visual studio. On the visual studio 2008 computer my code compiles. On the visual 2010 computer my code doesn\'t compi

Answer 1

Protect it with an #ifndef.

#ifndef max
    #define max(a,b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
#endif

Keep in mind that the version above is not as safe as an inline function, e.g. max(a++,b--) will cause unxpected results.
