Compute the complex arc sine

Synopsis:

#include <complex.h>

double complex casin( double complex z );

float complex casinf( float complex z );

long double complex casinl( long double complex z );

Arguments:

z
The value that you want to get the complex arc sine 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 complex arc sine of z, with branch cuts outside the interval [−1,+1] along the real axis.

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

  • Call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling casin(), casinf(), or casinl().
  • On return, if fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) is nonzero, then an error has occurred.

Returns:

The complex arc sine of z, in the range of a strip unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [−π/2; +π/2] along the real axis.

Errors and special cases are handled as if the operation were implemented as -i * casinh(i * z).

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

Classification:
