QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Compute a Bessel function of the second kind of a given order

Synopsis:

#include <math.h>

double yn( int n, 
           double x );

float ynf( int n, 
           float x );

Arguments:

n, x
The numbers that you want to compute the Bessel function for.

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:

These functions compute the Bessel function for x of the second kind of order n.

To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:

  • Call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling yn() or ynf().
  • On return, if fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) is nonzero, then an error has occurred.

Returns:

The result of the Bessel function for x of the second kind of order n.

If x is: These functions return: Errors:
Negative, including -Inf NaN FE_INVALID
±0.0 -Inf FE_DIVBYZERO
NaN NaN
Inf 0.0
If the correct result would cause: These functions return: Errors:
Overflow -Inf FE_OVERFLOW
Underflow 0.0

These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.

Classification:

yn() is POSIX 1003.1 XSI; ynf() is Unix

Safety:
Cancellation pointNo
Signal handlerYes
