Placing < windows.h> before <arrayfire.h> causes compilation errors

[vduva...@gmail.com]

Hi ArrayFire,

In the "helloworld.cpp" file, if I do the add <windows.h> header, as follows:

#include <windows.h>

#include <arrayfire.h>

then, the following compilation errors occur:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

Error (active) E0018 expected a ')' TestArrayFire3_8 C:\Program Files\ArrayFire\v3\include\af\algorithm.h 163

Error (active) E0145 variable "af::minByKey" may not be initialized TestArrayFire3_8 C:\Program Files\ArrayFire\v3\include\af\algorithm.h 180

Error (active) E0020 identifier "keys_out" is undefined TestArrayFire3_8 C:\Program Files\ArrayFire\v3\include\af\algorithm.h 180

Error (active) E0146 too many initializer values TestArrayFire3_8 C:\Program Files\ArrayFire\v3\include\af\algorithm.h 180

Error (active) E0020 identifier "vals_out" is undefined TestArrayFire3_8 C:\Program Files\ArrayFire\v3\include\af\algorithm.h 180

It looks like there may be a clash with the min() function defined in <windows.h> (maybe?)

Hello Victor,

If windows headers are included in your application, you may most often need to include definitions NOMINMAX and WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN compile definitions depending on your application needs.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Pradeep.
