Errors compiling TBB c++ include file concurrent_vector.h

[craigpod]

When I compile concurrent_vector.h in a small isolated windows 11 c++ console test project I don't have a problem. 

I'm using the latest release of Visual Studio Community edition and the latest release on oneAPI.

I'm getting the following error messages when i compile concurrent_vector.h in another application build in which i am trying to use the TBB function

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\tbb\2021.12\include\oneapi\tbb\concurrent_vector.h(488,21): error C2589: '(': illegal token on right side of '::'
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\tbb\2021.12\include\oneapi\tbb\concurrent_vector.h(488,16): error C2062: type 'unknown-type' unexpected
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\tbb\2021.12\include\oneapi\tbb\concurrent_vector.h(488,21): error C2059: syntax error: ')'

Here is the include sequence I'm using:

#include <oneapi/tbb.h>
#include <oneapi/tbb/parallel_for.h>
#include <blocked_range.h>
#include <concurrent_vector.h>

Please help.  Do i need to include something before concurrent_vector.h

Regards

Craig

I isolated the problem and found that the errors occur when I include <windows.h> above concurrent_vector.h

I can't remove windows.h from my build because too many other things rely on it.

I attached a cpp file with the code that should reproduce the problem.

Please suggest a work around to resolve this.

Thank you in advance for your help

Is there any fix or work around of this bug?

In my case, I successfully created a very simple console app that runs without issues. However, when I applied the same include files and basic logic to my sample DLL project, I encountered the following errors.

oneTBB version: 2021.13

#include <oneapi/tbb.h>
#include <oneapi/tbb/concurrent_vector.h>

Hello @aedls, thank you for filing a report.    

[aedls]

Thank you Karolina, to fix it you need to define NOMINMAX before including windows.h.

I my case I added this processor directives in my framework.h.

#ifndef NOMINMAX
#define NOMINMAX
#endif
