Description:

I am working with a TTGO esp32 module and I'm using vectors in my code, and it compiled fine up to a certain point. Then, out of the blue, it suddenly started giving me this error when trying to upload the code to the board:

c:\users\ivano\documents\arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32\tools\xtensa-esp32-elf\xtensa-esp32-elf\include\c++\5.2.0\bits\stl_vector.h: 
In member function 'std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::size_type std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::_M_check_len(std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::size_type, const char*) const':

C:\Users\Ivano\Documents\Arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32\cores\esp32/Arduino.h:182:18: error: expected unqualified-id before '(' token

 #define max(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b))

To get it to compile again I had to undefine min and max after including Arduino.h

#include <Arduino.h>
#undef min
#undef max

It might be worth noting that I'm also including vector in another file but commenting that include out did not change the problem.

Is there a reason why this should happen?
