+ok, this define disables the macro min & max, it's same behavior as doing
+#undef min #undef max
+but I search min in the VC include directory and subdirectory and there s
+*no* min
+definition in the STL (no template min) so we have to define our own min &
+max
+template function in our code... no very cool...
