About the use of the Max (A, B) and Min (A, B) functions

About the use of the Max (A, B) and Min (A, B) functions in VS2013

These two functions in the header file <algorithm> will return a and B in the smaller/larger one.

Can not be changed to _min and _max. Check that you can replace this in Windows engineering

For the use of Linux and VC6, copy the answer to a post in CSDN

First, Max () is really a function rather than a macro in standard C + +. It is actually defined in different compilation systems as follows:
===========================================================
Linux g++, header files <algorithm>
Template <class _tp>
Inline const _tp& MAX (const _tp& __a, const _tp& __b) {
Return __a < __b? __b: __a;
}
===========================================================
VC6 under Windows, header file <algorithm> (latest vs.net not tried, dare not to be raved)
Template<class _ty> Inline
Const _ty& _cpp_max (const _ty& _x, const _ty& _y)
{return (_x < _y _y: _x);}
===========================================================

Did you see it? g++ defined it as Max () according to standard C + +, and VC6 made it into a _cpp_max ().
In fact, the source code I attached to my question was in accordance with the standard C + + rules and was compiled successfully under g++, and because VC6 changed Max () to _cpp_max (), it failed to compile.

To use Max () in VC6, you can only retreat to the second using _cpp_max (). or _max ().
Because in the header file algorithm contains another header file xutility There is a sentence #define _max _cpp_max

There is also a related macro __max, which is defined in Stdlib.h: #define __MAX (A, B) (((a) > (a))? (a): (b)), but __max is not standard C + +, which was left by the previous C.
