- Fri Aug 14, 2015 3:36 pm #25994 I had a case where I need to call min() function, I've simply got the following error :
So, I used the suggested alternative std::min() ...

- Fri Aug 14, 2015 4:40 pm #26009 You need to include <algorithm> to use std::min, see http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/min
Of course you can also define a simple macro:

Code: Select all#define min(X, Y) (((X)<(Y))?(X):(Y))

Be careful though, if you pass something like x++ to the macro, the statement might be evaluated more than once and x ends up being incremented twice.

- Fri Aug 14, 2015 6:36 pm #26026 I mean, normally on Arduino, such as Uno or Nano, we don't need to include any thing and min()/max() are already defined.
Here, on ESP, I had to specify the "std::" namespace (I didn't have to add a include), and it worked !
So, it is a small glitch, but if someone is porting a existing library, he will probably faced that ...

EDIT: I didn't have to add the include simply because it was already included indirectly.

But is not strange things ?
