[MPlayer-dev-eng] about log2 replacement

[Chang Chen]

I am not familiar with cygwin headers. But it looks like only one log2
macro definition.

How does this fail? Is log2 ONLY defined as a macro? Having a
function-like macro definition _in addition_ to a function prototype
shouldn't make it fail, since function-like macro substitution would not
trigger without a left parenthesis after the name, and so the function
would be used. If there's only a macro definition without a function
prototype then the cygwin headers are buggy (the standard requires there
to be an actual function, having an additional macro definition is
optional).
