QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Compute the absolute value of a complex number

Synopsis:

#include <complex.h>

double cabs(double complex z);

float cabsf(float complex z);

long double cabsl(long double complex z);

Arguments:

z
The complex value that you want to get the absolute value of.

Library:

libm
The general-purpose math library.
libm-sve
A library that optimizes the code for ARMv8.2 chips that have Scalable Vector Extension hardware.

Your system requirements will determine how you should work with these libraries:

  • If you want only selected processes to run with the SVE version, you can include both libraries in your OS image and use the -l m or -l m-sve option to qcc to link explicitly against the appropriate one.
  • If you want all processes to use the SVE version, include libm-sve.so in your OS image and set up a symbolic link from libm.so to libm-sve.so. Use the -l m option to qcc to link against the library.
Note:
Compile your program with the -fno-builtin option to prevent the compiler from using a built-in version of the function.

Description:

These functions compute the absolute value of the complex number specified by z.

To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:

  • Call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling cabs(), cabsf(), or cabsl().
  • On return, if fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) is nonzero, then an error has occurred.

Returns:

The absolute value of z.

These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.

Classification:
