**  C macros for min() and max() on any C compiler.
**
**  C++ templates for min() and max() on any C++ compiler which supports
**  templates.
**
**  Overloaded C++ functions for min() and max() on any C++ compiler which
**  doesn't support templates.
**
**  If your compiler supports both C and C++, the appropriate behavior will
**  be selected based on the value of the __cplusplus predefined macro.

/*
**  The following 2 macros are used only for C++ compilers which lack
**  templates. If you use a C++ compiler which supports templates, ignore
**  the rest of this section. If you're compiling standard C, rather than
**  C++, you may ignore the rest of this section.
**
**  Set SIGNED_DISTINCT to 1 for conforming C++ compilers that treat signed,
**  unsigned, and "normal" types as 3 distinct entities. Set SIGNED_DISTINCT
**  to 0 for older or non-conforming C++ compilers. To determine the proper
**  setting for your compiler, compile MINMAX.H as a C++ source file using
**  the "compile only" (usually -c) switch. If the compiler reports "already
**  defined" errors, you probably need to change the value of SIGNED_DISTINCT
**  to 0.
**
**  If you still get "already defined" errors after setting SIGNED_DISTINCT
**  to 0, you may either have a truly broken compiler or have some obscure
**  (e.g. Zortech/Symantec's -Ju or -Jm) switch set which causes this
**  behavior. As a last resort, you can set UNSIGNED_DISTINCT to 0 as well.
