Hi Wilko,
Ah, you are right, I see several instances of this in the xrootd code:
src/XrdOss/XrdOssConfig.cc:#define max(a,b) (a < b ? b : a)
and
src/XrdClient/XrdClientReadCache.hh:#define min(a, b) (a < b ? a : b)
So this isn't a compiler bug, but redefinition of a keyword. We can change
them to "xrdmax" and "xrdmin". I'll do that (since I'm fixing a bunch of
other stupid things) unless somebody complains soon.
