[gecode-users] help--trouble on using Gecode in VS2008

[Christian Schulte]

Hi,



I know that problem: unfortunately the windows headers you include define
the macros min and max (which is a bug in the windows headers). What you
should do is after including the windows headers files, add the following:



#ifdef min

#undef min

#endif



#ifdef max

#undef max

#endif



As you don’t tell us which version of Gecode you use (one should ALWAYS do
that) I can only suggest to have a look at gecode/support/thread.hh in the
latest version of Gecode (3.1.0). There at the very end you’ll find that
fix.



Cheers

Christian

hello all，

          As a beginner using Gecode, i faced a problem. i want you do me a
favor.

         My tools are VS2008, and i can succeed to compile and run  examples
which are supplied by Gecode on VS2008 . These are all Win32 console
application. But when i develop a MFC application using Gecode, there have
many errors facing to me. Even i simply replanted one example of Gecode ,for
instance TSP, to MFC . Errors as follows:

  "

d:\program files\gecode\include\gecode\iter\ranges-operations.hpp(94) :
warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'max'
d:\program files\gecode\include\gecode\iter\ranges-operations.hpp(94) :
warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'max'
d:\program files\gecode\include\gecode\iter\ranges-operations.hpp(109) :
warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'max'
d:\program files\gecode\include\gecode\iter\ranges-operations.hpp(109) :
warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'min'

……

d:\program files\gecode\include\gecode\iter\ranges-minmax.hpp(79) : error
C2062: type 'void' unexpected

d:\program files\gecode\include\gecode\iter\ranges-minmax.hpp(77) : error
C2062: type 'void' unexpected

"



I foud places where make into mistakes are

"  return std::numeric_limits<size_type>::max() / "

" int min(void) const; "



      I make sure that configures in the properties dialog of my solution
are set successfully. I have a suspicion that perhaps it need some library
for using Gecode in MFC. I found "The Gecode Interactive Search Tool (Gist)
is a graphical search engine for Gecode, built on top of the Qt GUI toolkit
<http://trolltech.com/products/qt> ." in the manual of Gecode. Does it have
some relations with my trouble? who know the reason ?

         Thanks for all the people who look at my email.
