[Bug libstdc++/13943] New: call of overloaded `llabs(int)' is ambiguous

[debian-gcc at lists dot debian dot org]

[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/228645]

on i486-linux, glibc-2.3.2 based.

---
#include <math.h>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int foo() { return llabs(1); }
---

g++-3.3 blah.cc -c
blah.cc: In function `int foo()':
blah.cc:6: error: call of overloaded `llabs(int)' is ambiguous
/usr/include/stdlib.h:754: error: candidates are: long long int llabs(long long
   int)
/usr/include/c++/3.3/cstdlib:152: error:                 long long int
   __gnu_cxx::llabs(long long int)

This works in g++ 3.2, but not 3.3 and 3.4.
<vector> pulls in <cstdlib>, so using <math.h> and <vector> together causes
this problem.  That is, it's triggered even if you don't use the <cstdlib>
header: merely mixing vector with math.h triggers it, and it's impossible
to avoid math.h (as library headers often pull it in.)

This doesn't happen with other functions in cstdlib, such as abs().
Comments in /usr/include/c++/3.3/cstdlib indicate that it's intended to
work ("// Get rid of those macros defined in <stdlib.h> ...").
