[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33168] abs function in octave c++ API converting standard C++ type to int

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #33168 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:

This is not an Octave bug, this is simply confusion about C versus C++
functions. The plain abs function is from the C math library and is defined as
"int abs(int)". To get a double-precision absolute value, use either std::abs
as you have shown below or use the C fabs function.
