Additional information

The problem is that windef.h defines macros min and max. The v8 code in v8-function-callback.h can work around it by:

template <typename T>
void ReturnValue<T>::Set(uint16_t i) {
  static_assert(std::is_base_of<T, Integer>::value, "type check");
  using I = internal::Internals;
  // wrap std::numeric_limits<uint16_t>::min in parens to avoid interpretation as macro
  static_assert(I::IsValidSmi((std::numeric_limits<uint16_t>::min)()));
// ditto max
  static_assert(I::IsValidSmi((std::numeric_limits<uint16_t>::max)()));
  SetInternal(I::IntToSmi(i));
}

There may be other ways around this but I was able to compile our addon using this workaround.
