Yarp: Unable to include LogStream with CasAdi

[Giulero]

Describe the bug

If I include

#include <casadi/casadi.hpp>
#include <yarp/os/LogStream.h>

the following error occurs while compiles:

Unfortunately, both yarp and casadi expand std namespace

casadi

https://github.com/casadi/casadi/blob/fadc86444f3c7ab824dc3f2d91d4c0cfe7f9dad5/casadi/core/casadi_misc.hpp#L428-L433

yarp

https://github.com/robotology/yarp/blob/13d2bc8ea92621b29055d10c6dbc43809f35c1b0/src/libYARP_os/src/yarp/os/LogStream.h#L28-L31

Probably the fastest solution avoids using LogStream in your application

Thanks for opening the issue! We had a similar discussion in https://github.com/robotology/yarp/issues/2067 .

That's the same bug, I'm closing this in favour of #2067
