DELETE macro conflict

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I'm having an issue when compiling a program that uses qhttpengine on Windows.
The use of DELETE at

is resolving the DELETE macro that in defined in winnt.h. This is causing the compile to fail with a syntax error.

My current workaround for this is to rename the DELETE in socket.h to something else but this obviously isn't a good solution to the problem.

Thanks for your help and for your software!

One possible option (assuming you don't need the DELETE constant from winnt.h) is to add the following line before including socket.h:

#undef DELETE
#include <qhttpengine/socket.h>

As for a long term solution, let me give this some careful thought.

(This is one of the reasons I don't like #defines - it pollutes the global namespace and causes problems like this.)
