I'm not sure where to ask about this, please redirect me as needed!
I have a C++ class with a function "LoadImage", which caused a
compile error on Windows. After some digging, I think that a define or
function from winuser.h with a similar name is the culprit. I'm slightly
confused by this, because I naiively assumed that such global defines
would be better obscured. Admittedly I'm quite ignorant as to how this
"hiding" should work, I just assumed that i.e. they would have very
specific names, are encapsulated in namespaces, or live in very specific
headers.
Is there some way for me not to fall into the same trap with other
functions again? I recall some WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN define that was
used in the old days to reduce the bloat coming from windows headers,
when using MSVC. Is this still useful, and/or are there better methods?
Thanks for and advise!
All the best,
Mario Emmenlauer
