Subject: [PATCH] math.h: Warn about an already-defined log macro
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2017 09:10:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170904090959.276DE439942E3@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)

This is a common programming error, and the cause of the problem is not
always obvious.

<tgmath.h> defines a log macro, but it includes <math.h> before that, so
that is compatible with the warning.

	* math/math.h: Issue warning if log is defined.
