Well, I suppose it is all about what Laurent said. You must have some 
min/max macros defined somewhere.

In my particular case (and I mentioned it because you are using VC++ as 
I am), I included Winsock2 header. For what i saw, this header includes 
windows.h, which defines min/max macros (that receive an argument). 
That's why the compiler substituted the std::numeric_limits<T>::min() 
with the macro (and not using the real function to calculate the type 
limits).

I only needed the ntoh/hton macros from winsock, so I removed the 
winsock header and implemented those macros myself.

This is only my particular case, but I found it might help you somehow.

I'm reviewing the project settings generated by CMake, and I can't see 
anything unusual, sorry. Anyway, you could always generate a new 
project/solution and add the example and your headers, without using 
cmake.... I suppose that the result must remain the same (unless you 
have custom compile settings in order to use the headers)
