--- Comment #4 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
FWIW, while C++ doesn't allow programs to define min and max as macros, lots of
C code does it. When that code happens to be in a header, including that
header in a C++ program causes all kinds of grief. Sometimes, fixing the
header is easy. Other times, for instance when the header is a system one, it
can be less than trivial. A fairly easy way to avoid having to deal with the
problem in libstdc++ is to enclose every call to min and max in public
libstdc++ headers in parentheses: z = (min)(x, y).
