.LP

Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends

the ISO\ C standard. Applications shall define
|
||
|
the appropriate feature test macro (see the System Interfaces volume
|
||
|
of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment)
|
||
|
to enable the visibility of these symbols in this
|
||
|
header.

||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The \fI<math.h>\fP header shall include definitions for at least the
|
||
|
following types:
|
||
|
.TP 7
|
||
|
\fBfloat_t\fP
|
||
|
A real-floating type at least as wide as \fBfloat\fP.
|

.TP 7
|
||
|
\fBdouble_t\fP
|

A real-floating type at least as wide as \fBdouble\fP, and at least
|
||
|
as wide as \fBfloat_t\fP.
|
||
|
.sp
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
If FLT_EVAL_METHOD equals 0, \fBfloat_t\fP and \fBdouble_t\fP shall
|
||
|
be \fBfloat\fP and \fBdouble\fP, respectively; if
|
||
|
FLT_EVAL_METHOD equals 1, they shall both be \fBdouble\fP; if FLT_EVAL_METHOD
|
||
|
equals 2, they shall both be \fBlong double\fP; for
|
||
|
other values of FLT_EVAL_METHOD, they are otherwise implementation-defined.

The \fI<math.h>\fP header shall define the following macros, where

real-floating indicates that the argument shall be an

math_errhandling , the behavior is undefined. If the expression (math_errhandling

statement the state for the pragma is restored to its condition

just before the compound statement. If this pragma is used in any
|

other context, the behavior is undefined. The default state (on
|

or off) for the pragma is implementation-defined.

|
.LP
|
||
|
Before the ISO/IEC\ 9899:1999 standard, the math library was defined
|
||
|
only for the floating type \fBdouble\fP. All the names
|
||
|
formed by appending \fB'f'\fP or \fB'l'\fP to a name in \fI<math.h>\fP
|
||
|
were reserved to allow for the definition of
|
||
|
\fBfloat\fP and \fBlong double\fP libraries; and the ISO/IEC\ 9899:1999
|
||
|
standard provides for all three versions of math
|
||
|
functions.
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The functions \fIecvt\fP(), \fIfcvt\fP(), and \fIgcvt\fP() have been
|
||
|
dropped from the ISO\ C standard since their capability is available
|
||
|
through \fIsprintf\fP(). These are provided on XSI-conformant systems
|
||
|
supporting the
|
||
|
Legacy Option Group.
