Bug 162302 – [GTK] webkit-gtk-2.14.0 build failure of ScrollbarThemeGtk with libc++

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia]

2.14.0 fails to build with the following error using clang+libc++ on darwin:

Casting the call site to (double) addresses the issue.

If such a cast is needed, please use static_cast instead of a c-style cast.

Yes, as Alex said.

I think it would be cleaner to cast the result of abs, because both rect and preferredSize are ints, instead of using the abs overload for floats with integers, we could use the int one and cast the result. Another way to disambiguate this could be using std::fabs, adn then we don't need any ugly cast.

Oh, I wonder if it's not picking up the integral std::abs() because of a missing #include <cstdlib>.  Giving that a try.

Yep, changed patch to include <cstdlib>, so the integer versions are available.

Ugh, let's remember to check for this whenever we see a patch that changes std::abs. It's not the first time this has been an issue, but I forgot.
