problem with math functions

[Burry]

Hi.

I just installed gcc-3.3.2 on a Hp-ux 11.0, from available binaries at the HP-UX software porting and archive center.

When I try to compile, I get the folowing error:

/usr/local/include/c++/3.3.2/cmath: In function `double std::abs(double)':
/usr/local/include/c++/3.3.2/cmath:172: error: `double std::abs(double)' conflicts with previous using declaration `double abs(double)'
/usr/local/include/c++/3.3.2/cmath: In function `double std::pow(double, int)':
/usr/local/include/c++/3.3.2/cmath:504: error: `double std::pow(double, int)' conflicts with previous using declaration `double pow(double, int)'


(Edited from include/c++/3.3.2/cmath)
I changed things from:

// Get rid of those macros defined in in lieu of real functions.
#undef abs // <--- This is one I had trouble with.
#undef div
// etc...

namespace std
{
inline double
abs(double __x)
{ return __builtin_fabs(__x); }

inline float
abs(float __x)
{ return __builtin_fabsf(__x); }

inline long double
abs(long double __x)
{ return __builtin_fabsl(__x); }
}

to:

// Get rid of those macros defined in in lieu of real functions.
#undef div
// etc...

namespace std
{
// Only undefine and replace abs if it is a macro
#ifdef abs
#undef abs
inline double
abs(double __x)
{ return __builtin_fabs(__x); }

inline float
abs(float __x)
{ return __builtin_fabsf(__x); }

inline long double
abs(long double __x)
{ return __builtin_fabsl(__x); }
#endif
}

Is it correct or not?
What is the "good" way to fix it?

Thanks
