This LWG issue was closed as NAD, as it was just a bug in an
implementation, not a defect in the standard. Libstdc++ never had that
bug and always worked for the problem case. Add a test to ensure we
don't regress.
The problem occurs when abs is implemented using a ternary expression:
return d >= d.zero() ? d : -d;
If decltype(-d) is not the same as decltype(d) then this is ambiguous,
because each type can be converted to the other, so there is no common
type.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* testsuite/20_util/duration_cast/rounding.cc: Check abs with
non-reduced duration.
static_assert( std::chrono::abs(100ms) == 100ms );
static_assert( std::chrono::abs(-100ms) == 100ms );
