SoftwareSerial breaks abs macro

[florian-schweiger]

When I include SoftwareSerial.h, other libraries break because the abs(x) macro stops working. One particular library that stops functioning properly is uStepper.

The reason for it seems to be a section at the bottom of SoftwareSerial.h that undefines several macros:

// Arduino 0012 workaround
#undef int
#undef char
#undef long
#undef byte
#undef float
#undef abs
#undef round

I've commented this out in my project, and things are back to normal.

So I'm wondering, is this workaround still needed in the post-Arduino-0012 era?

I just realised that I've opened the issue in the wrong repository. I'm closing it here and will reopen it in ArduinoCore-avr: arduino/ArduinoCore-avr#30
