fpclassify()

QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Categorize a floating-point number

Synopsis:

#include <math.h>

#define fpclassify( x ) ...

Arguments:

x
A floating-point value.

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:

The fpclassify() macro categorizes the given value as one of the following:

FP_NORMAL
The value is normal, i.e., not an infinity, subnormal, not-a-number or zero.
FP_SUBNORMAL
The value is subnormal.
FP_ZERO
The value is positive or negative zero.
FP_INFINITE
The value is not representable by the underlying type (positive or negative infinity).
FP_NAN
The value is not-a-number (NaN).

Returns:

The category of the number.

Classification:

C11, POSIX 1003.1
