QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Compute the complex natural (base-e) logarithm of a complex number

Synopsis:

#include <complex.h>

double complex clog(double complex z );

float complex clogf(float complex z );

long double complex clogl(long double complex z );

Arguments:

z
The complex value that you want to compute the complex natural logarithm 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 natural (base-e) logarithm of the complex number specified by z with a branch cut along the negative real axis. The natural logarithm of a complex number z with polar coordinate components (r,θ) equals ln r + i(θ+2nπ), with the principal value ln r + iθ.

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

  • Call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling clog(), clogf(), or clogl().
  • On return, if fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) is nonzero, then an error has occurred.

Returns:

If no errors occur, the complex natural logarithm of z, in the range of a strip in the interval [−iπ, +iπ] along the imaginary axis and mathematically unbounded along the real axis.

If z is: These functions return: Errors:
-0 + 0i -Inf + πi FE_DIVBYZERO
0 + 0i -Inf + 0i FE_DIVBYZERO
x + Infi, for any finite x Inf + (π/2)i
x + NaNi, for any finite x NaN + NaNi
-Inf + yi, for any finite positive y -Inf + πi
Inf + yi, for any finite positive y -Inf + 0i
-Inf + Infi Inf + (3π/4)i
Inf + Infi Inf + (π/4)i
±Inf + NaNi Inf + NaNi
NaN + yi, for any finite y NaN + NaNi
NaN + Infi NaN + NaNi
NaN + NaNi NaN + NaNi

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