Things like std::min and std::max are implemented using overloads instead of as macros. Same with pretty much all of the math functions. Looking at GCC 4.7.2's cstdlib, there are quite a few functions which are implemented using real functions instead of macros (so you can pass them as arguments to std::for_each and other higher-level functions from <algorithm>). --Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
