isless()

QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Determine whether one floating-point number is less than another

Synopsis:

#include <math.h>

#define isless( x, y  ) ...

Arguments:

x, y
The floating-point numbers that you want to compare.

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 isless() macro determines whether x is less than y. It's the same as (x) < (y) but doesn't raise the invalid floating-point exception if x and y are unordered.

Returns:

The value of (x) < (y). If x or y is NaN, this function returns 0.

Classification:

C11, POSIX 1003.1

Safety:
Cancellation pointNo
Signal handlerYes
