I am working on a project to extract meta-data from a document. Regarding that I came to know about this Project, which is a method for the automatic generation of a table-of-contents, it made me install Xerces-C++ (this installed fine). In the Read-Me.text of the Project it gave a warning as follows( I use Ubuntu14.04 and have gcc 4.8.2):

It has been tested with gcc 3.3.5 on Debian, but should work with gcc 3.3.5 on other operating systems. Newer versions of gcc might give you a few easily corrected warnings / errors during compilation. Despite this, functionality of the code is independent of both OS & compiler version.

When I tried to build the project, I was successful in correcting some warnings and errors, but there was this error I couldn't fix

error: expected primary-expression before ‘?’ token
    iMaxSiblingMatches = iMaxSiblingMatches <? iSiblingMatches;

Here, iMaxSiblingMatches and iSiblingMatches are both int data types.

I haven't seen this operator before and the compiler is also not able to identify it, is there something I am missing here?

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3437410/c-extension-and-operators. The >? and operators have been apparently removed. – FPK Jun 04 '15 at 20:18
If you start a line with four spaces, you can add code. See my edit – wimh Jun 04 '15 at 20:18
