Description

Use of log4cxx::Level::ERROR fails with compilation error in some C++ source files, although DEBUG and INFO compile correctly.

error C2589 'constant' : illegal token on right side of '::'

I have tracked it down to the <wingdi.h> header file and managed to avoid the error by using the NOGDI definition. This is okay in my situation, but may cause others problems?

// fails
#undef NOGDI
#include <windows.h>
...
log4cxx::logstream* ls = new log4cxx::logstream(logger, log4cxx::Level::ERROR);

// works
#define NOGDI
#include <windows.h>
...
log4cxx::logstream* ls = new log4cxx::logstream(logger, log4cxx::Level::ERROR);
