Strange behaviour with g++ 3.4.4-1

[Angelo Graziosi <Angelo dot Graziosi at roma1 dot infn dot it>]

Rebuilding, with GCC 3.4.4-1, a few my Windows applications
(those that use -mwindows), I have found a compiler error that
was absent in the build with GCC 3.3.3-3.

I have created the simplest test case that reproduces the 'phenomenon'

----------------------------------------
//
// test.cpp
//
// Compile with:
//
//     g++ test.cpp -o test
//
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <complex>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
   cout << "Hello, World" << endl;

   return 0;
}

----------------------------------------


Trying to build, the result is:

----------------------------------------

$ g++ test.cpp -o test
In file included from
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/sstream:640,
                 from

                 from test.cpp:8:

----------------------------------------

It seems that the '#include <windows.h>' does not like to stay between
that of <iostream> and <complex>.

Moving it at the beginning or at the end , works. i.e. with the sequences


#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <complex>

or

#include <iostream>
#include <complex>
#include <windows.h>

the build is completed without errors.

With GCC 3.3.3-3 the build works in any case.

With more complex applications (that have many includes which include
others etc.) is not simple to establish the order in which the inclusion
of windows.h apperars.


Best regards,

    Angelo.
