isfinite()

Arguments:

x

The number you want to test.

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.

Description:

The isfinite() macro determines if x is finite.

Returns:

Nonzero

The value of x is finite.

0

The value of x is infinity or NaN.

Examples:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) 
{
  double a, b, c, d;

  a = 2;
  b = -0.5;
  c = NAN;
  d = 1.0/0.0;
  printf("%f is %s \n", a, (isfinite(a)) ? "finite" : "not finite");
  printf("%f is %s \n", b, (isfinite(b)) ? "finite" : "not finite");
  printf("%f is %s \n", c, (isfinite(c)) ? "finite" : "not finite");
  printf("%f is %s \n", d, (isfinite(d)) ? "finite" : "not finite");

  return(0);
}

produces the output:

2.000000 is finite
-0.500000 is finite
nan is not finite
inf is not finite
