Re: MSVC compilation problem: std::abs<int64_t> does not exist

[Michael Goffioul]

The fix I used up to now is to add

namespace std
{
  inline __int64 abs (__int64 x)
  { return (x >= 0 ? x : -x); }
}

in lo-math.h. This is enough to work around the problem.
I surrounded this definition with #ifdef that is only active
for MSVC, so as to not interfere with the other compilers.
Wouldn't that be enough?

Michael.
