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

[Kshitij Kulshreshtha]

Hello,

the declarations

fmin(const double&, const double&) and the corresponding fmax has been
deleted. These are the ones that ISO C99 and C++11 define.

fmin(double, const badouble&)
fmin(const badouble&, double)
fmin(const badouble&, const badouble&) and the corresponding fmax are
required. These are the ones you see in adouble.h

What source code are you compiling that creates the error you quote?
It looks like two adouble arguments have been passed, and the <cmath>
version should not even be called.

Best
Kshitij
