Re^6: How convert header file to XS by h2xs?

I changed "./test.h" to "../test.h", but it still failed.

Below is the output message after adding -E switch:

# 1 "Mytest.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
# 1 "Mytest.c"
# 1 "Mytest.xs"
# 1 "C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/EXTERN.h" 1
# 2 "Mytest.xs" 2
# 1 "C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/perl.h" 1
# 38 "C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/perl.h"
# 1 "C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/config.h" 1
# 39 "C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/perl.h" 2
# 605 "C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/perl.h"

UPDATE:

Thanks for BrowserUk's reminding, I shrink the log size for makeing this reply re-readable. But it seems useless :(

I change the name of function from max to lc_max. it works! I don't understand why this change can affect. Hope gurus enlighten me about this.

I change the name of function from max* to lc_max. it works! I don't understand why...* It could be because something in the included header files declares `max` some other way, so there's a conflict when the compiler reaches your declaration of `max` in `test.h`. If you really want to know, grep for "max" in the `-E` output... Or, to avoid name clashes in the first place, simply give your function a less "common" name.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
