Log(1+x)
Synopsis:
#include <math.h>
double log1p ( double x );
float log1pf ( float x );
long double log1pl( long double x );
Arguments:
- x
- The number that you want to add 1 to and compute the natural log 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:
The log1p(), log1pf(), and log1pl() functions compute the value of log(1+x), where x > -1.0.
To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:
- Call
feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)before calling log1p(), log1pf(), or log1pl(). - On return, if
fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)is nonzero, then an error has occurred.
Returns:
log(1+x)
| If x is: | These functions return: | Errors: |
|---|---|---|
| x is -1.0 | -Inf | FE_DIVBYZERO |
| Less than -1.0 and finite, or -Inf | NaN | FE_INVALID |
| ±0.0 | x | — |
| Inf | Inf | — |
| NaN | NaN | — |
| Subnormal | x | — |
These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.
