Re: [eigen] no matching function for call to 'abs(const float&)'

[Adrien Escande <adrien.escande@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's definitely a problem with your cmath (which is included as soon as you include Eigen, no need to add it manually). The fix you proposed is fine for your purpose, but you will need to redo it each time you change your version of eigen. I think it is best to include something like

namespace std

{

  float abs(float f) { return f>=0?f:-f; }

}

before including Eigen

And if it's not? Eigen cannot control what has been included before or after Eigen headers and I'm guessing your fix would break as soon as someone uses that code without including cmath first.
