cpow(), cpowf(), cpowl()
QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper
Raise a complex number to the power of another complex number
Synopsis:
#include <complex.h>
double complex cpow( double complex x,
double complex y );
float complex cpowf( float complex x,
float complex y );
long double complex cpowl( long double complex x,
long double complex y );
Arguments:
- x
- The number you want to raise.
- y
- The power you want to raise the number to.
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 power function, xy, with a branch cut for the first parameter along the negative real axis.
To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:
- Call
feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)before calling cpow(), cpowf(), or cpowl(). - On return, if
fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)is nonzero, then an error has occurred.
Returns:
The complex power, xy. Errors and special cases are handled as if the operation were implemented as cexp(y * clog(x)).
These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.
