The header <tgmath.h> includes the headers <math.h> and <complex.h> and defines several type-generic macros that determine which real or, when applicable, complex function to call based on the types of the arguments.
For each macro, the parameters whose corresponding real type in the unsuffixed <math.h> function is double are known as generic parameters (for example, both parameters of pow are generic parameters, but only the first parameter of scalbn is a generic parameter).
When a <tgmath.h>'s macro is used the types of the arguments passed to the generic parameters determine which function is selected by the macro as described below. If the types of the arguments are not compatible with the parameter types of the selected function, the behavior is undefined (e.g. if a complex argument is passed into a real-only <tgmath.h>'s macro: float complex fc; ceil(fc); or double complex dc; double d; fmax(dc, d); are examples of undefined behavior).
Note: type-generic macros were implemented in implementation-defined manner in C99, but C11 keyword _Generic makes it possible to implement these macros in portable manner.
[edit] Complex/real type-generic macrosFor all functions that have both real and complex counterparts, a type-generic macro XXX
exists, which calls either of:
XXXf
XXX
XXXl
cXXXf
cXXX
cXXXl
An exception to the above rule is the fabs
macro (see the table below).
The function to call is determined as follows:
sin
, cos
, tan
, cosh
, sinh
, tanh
, asin
, atan
, asinh
, and atanh
call real functions, the return types of sin
, tan
, sinh
, tanh
, asin
, atan
, asinh
, and atanh
are imaginary, and the return types of cos
and cosh
are real).The type-generic macros are as follows:
[edit] Real-only functionsFor all functions that do not have complex counterparts, with the exception of modf
, a type-generic macro XXX
exists, which calls either of the variants of a real function:
XXXf
XXX
XXXl
The function to call is determined as follows:
For all complex number functions that do not have real counterparts, a type-generic macro cXXX
exists, which calls either of the variants of a complex function:
The function to call is determined as follows:
#include <stdio.h> #include <tgmath.h> int main(void) { int i = 2; printf("sqrt(2) = %f\n", sqrt(i)); // argument type is int, calls sqrt float f = 0.5; printf("sin(0.5f) = %f\n", sin(f)); // argument type is float, calls sinf float complex dc = 1 + 0.5*I; float complex z = sqrt(dc); // argument type is float complex, calls csqrtf printf("sqrt(1 + 0.5i) = %f+%fi\n", creal(z), // argument type is float complex, calls crealf cimag(z)); // argument type is float complex, calls cimagf }
Output:
sqrt(2) = 1.414214 sin(0.5f) = 0.479426 sqrt(1 + 0.5i) = 1.029086+0.242934i[edit] References
