C2589: '(' : illegal token on right side of '::'

rizoritis

Hello,

I have encountered the same problem found here, and tried all of the recommended solutions:
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/22133

qdatetime.h gives a syntax error at the line:
static inline qint64 nullJd() { return std::numeric_limits<qint64>::min(); }

The error is:
C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\msvc2012_64_opengl\include\QtCore\qdatetime.h:122: error: C2589: '(' : illegal token on right side of '::'

I have windows.h declared in a header file (which is probably a bad idea), but have included before it:
#define NOMINMAX #include <limits>

Also in the .pro file I have included DEFINES += NOMINMAX

For some reason this error still persists. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you define NOMINMAX before windows.h ?

@
#define NOMINMAX
#include <windows.h>

try to undef min and max before using min and max from the <limits>
