using VC7.1  and I enabling language extensions ( reqd  for e.g Windows.h)
that comes up at the above line (N) with:

sourcefile(N) :warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'min'
sourcefile(N) :warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'min'
sourcefile(N) :error C2589: '(' : illegal token on right side of '::'
sourcefile(N) :error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '::'
sourcefile(N) :error C2059: syntax error : ')'
sourcefile(N) :error C3861: 'units_str': identifier not found, even with
argument-dependent lookup
