[ADOL-C] fmax conflict with c++ gcc 4.4.6

[Antoine De Blois]

Hi Kshitij,

I already use the ADOL-C 2.4.1. My error is in fact with fmax using adouble as arguments. I get the following complaint by the compiler:

/usr/include/c++/4.4.6/tr1_impl/cmath(525): error: no instance of constructor "adub::adub" matches the argument list  argument types are: (adouble)
        return fmax(__type(__x), __type(__y));
                    ^
          detected during instantiation of "__gnu_cxx::__promote_2<_Tp, _Up>::__type std::fmax(_Tp, _Up) [with _Tp=adouble, _Up=adouble]" at line 74

Just so I understand, what was removed exactly in 2.4.1? Because in my adouble.h, fmin and fmax are there (at line 226 to 231).
Regards,
Antoine

fmin/fmax definitions for double type are now standard in all C/C++ compilers that support C99 and C++11 standards. So these have been removed in the latest ADOL-C version 2.4.1. Please use that.
