Wrong 'log' results when using .oct files

[Javier Perez]

Hi all.

I'm trying to compute the logarithm in base 2 of a number, in C++, since it's
part of a .oct file. The code is really simple, and it works fine in a
standalone program. The problem is that when used inside a .oct file, the file
"octave/config.h" is included, and the results change. Am I doing some stupid
mistake? Should I use a different way of computing the logarithm?? 

This simple code demonstrates my problem:

<-------- begin: "test_log.cc" ------------>
#include <octave/config.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>

int main() {

    int M = 8;
    double j = log(M)/log(2);
    std::cout << "(int) log2(" << M << "): " << j << " " << (int)j << std::endl;

    return 1;
}

<-------- end: "test_log.cc" ------------->

I'm compiling using:

gcc -O3 -mcpu=k6 -mieee-fp -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fPIC
-fno-implicit-templates -o test_log test_log.cc -lg++
-I/home/jape/local//include/octave-2.1.32
-I/home/jape/local//include/octave-2.1.32/octave -I/home/jape/local//include
-I/home/jape/cur/functions

Commenting out the line 
        #include <octave/config.h>
everything works fine, and I obtain the result "3". 

        address@hidden:~/cur/# ./test_log 
        (int) log2(8): 3 3

The problem is when including that file, because the result is "2".

        address@hidden:~/cur/# ./test_log
        (int) log2(8): 3 2

Any idea why is this way?

Thanks in advance
