Illegal token on right side of ::

Question

I have the following template declaration:

template 
   void IterTable(int&                       rIdx,
                  std::vector

        

Answer 1

My guess is that max has been made a macro. This happens at some point inside windows.h.

Define NOMINMAX prior to including to stop windows.h from doing that.

EDIT:

I'm still confident this is your problem. (Not including would result in a different error). Place #undef max and #undef min just before the function and try again. If that fixes it, I was correct, and your NOMINMAX isn't being defined properly. (Add it as a project setting.)

You can also prevent macro expansion by: (std::numeric_limits::max)().

On a side note, why not do std::numeric_limits::min() instead of negating the max?
