We recently encountered an issue in a project which has NEAR and FAR variables (constexpr in some namespace), after including spdlog.
Turns out that including
windows.h
leaks those, and that happened transitively through spdlog.Now obviously this really is more of a Windows issue, but I think it would be convenient - especially for multi-platform users of spdlog - to prevent leakage of these symbols (with the same reasoning as e.g. for defining NOMINMAX).
The required change is rather trivial.
