gcc4: OpenMP vs. <math.h>


POSIX allows for <math.h> functions to also be defined as macros. Currently, only log2 and log2f are so defined.

These macros pose problems with a few projects which define their own static/inline/template log2() (off the top of my head, I can think of 2: the CRAN rgl module, and OpenCV; both are C++). Of course, those can be fixed with an #undef log2 after the #include's.

However, I just encountered tonight a much larger conflict: OpenMP/C++ and <math.h> are incompatible. STC attached:

$ g++ -D_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL -fopenmp openmp.cxx -lgomp

It gets even worse if you #include <algorithm> as well, and no, it doesn't help to #include <cmath>, although moving the math include after all other includes does work.

I see two possible solutions:

1) Make the log2 macros dependent on #ifndef __cplusplus;
2) Make the parallel/* headers #undef log2 and log2f.

Thoughts?
