tgamma(), tgammaf(), tgammal()
QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper
Compute the gamma function of a number
Synopsis:
#include <math.h>
double tgamma( double x );
float tgammaf( float x );
long double tgammal( long double x );
Arguments:
- x
- An arbitrary number.
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 tgamma(), tgammaf(), and tgammal() functions
compute Γ(x), which is defined as follows:
To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:
- Call
feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)before calling tgamma(), tgammaf(), or tgammal(). - On return, if
fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)is nonzero, then an error has occurred.
Returns:
The gamma of x.
| If x is: | These functions return: | Errors: |
|---|---|---|
| A negative integer | NaN | FE_INVALID |
| ±0.0 | Inf, with the same sign as x | FE_DIVBYZERO |
| A value that would cause overflow | ±Inf, with the same sign as the correct value | FE_OVERFLOW |
| A value that would cause underflow | 0.0 | FE_UNDERFLOW |
| Subnormal and 1 / x is representable | 1 / x | — |
| NaN | NaN | — |
| Inf | Inf | FE_OVERFLOW |
| -Inf | NaN | FE_INVALID |
These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.
