DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
       ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test
       macro (see the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1-2017, _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _2_._2,
       _T_h_e _C_o_m_p_i_l_a_t_i_o_n _E_n_v_i_r_o_n_m_e_n_t) to enable the visibility of these symbols
       in this header.

       The _<_m_a_t_h_._h_> header shall define at least the following types:

       ffllooaatt__tt     A real-floating type at least as wide as ffllooaatt.

       ddoouubbllee__tt    A real-floating type at least as wide as ddoouubbllee, and at
                   least as wide as ffllooaatt__tt.

       If FLT_EVAL_METHOD equals 0, ffllooaatt__tt and ddoouubbllee__tt shall be ffllooaatt and
       ddoouubbllee, respectively; if FLT_EVAL_METHOD equals 1, they shall both be
       ddoouubbllee; if FLT_EVAL_METHOD equals 2, they shall both be lloonngg ddoouubbllee;
       for other values of FLT_EVAL_METHOD, they are otherwise implementation-
       defined.

       The _<_m_a_t_h_._h_> header shall define the following macros, where real-
       floating indicates that the argument shall be an expression of real-
       floating type:


           int fpclassify(real-floating x);
           int isfinite(real-floating x);
           int isgreater(real-floating x, real-floating y);
           int isgreaterequal(real-floating x, real-floating y);
           int isinf(real-floating x);
           int isless(real-floating x, real-floating y);
           int islessequal(real-floating x, real-floating y);
           int islessgreater(real-floating x, real-floating y);
           int isnan(real-floating x);
           int isnormal(real-floating x);
           int isunordered(real-floating x, real-floating y);
           int signbit(real-floating x);

       The _<_m_a_t_h_._h_> header shall define the following symbolic constants. The
       values shall have type ddoouubbllee and shall be accurate to at least the
       precision of the ddoouubbllee type.

       M_E         Value of _e

       M_LOG2E     Value of _l_o_g_2 _e

       M_LOG10E    Value of _l_o_g_10 _e

       M_LN2       Value of _l_o_g__e 2

       M_LN10      Value of _l_o_g__e 10

       M_PI        Value of <pi>

       M_PI_2      Value of <pi>/2

       M_PI_4      Value of <pi>/4

       M_1_PI      Value of 1/<pi>

       M_2_PI      Value of 2/<pi>

       M_2_SQRTPI  Value of 2/_<_s_q_r_t_><pi>

       M_SQRT2     Value of _<_s_q_r_t_>2

       M_SQRT1_2   Value of 1/_<_s_q_r_t_>2

       The _<_m_a_t_h_._h_> header shall define the following symbolic constant:

       MAXFLOAT    Same value as FLT_MAX in _<_f_l_o_a_t_._h_>.

       The _<_m_a_t_h_._h_> header shall define the following macros:

       HUGE_VAL    A positive ddoouubbllee constant expression, not necessarily
                   representable as a ffllooaatt.  Used as an error value returned
                   by the mathematics library. HUGE_VAL evaluates to +infinity
                   on systems supporting IEEE Std 754-1985.

       HUGE_VALF   A positive ffllooaatt constant expression. Used as an error
                   value returned by the mathematics library. HUGE_VALF
                   evaluates to +infinity on systems supporting
                   IEEE Std 754-1985.

       HUGE_VALL   A positive lloonngg ddoouubbllee constant expression. Used as an
                   error value returned by the mathematics library. HUGE_VALL
                   evaluates to +infinity on systems supporting
                   IEEE Std 754-1985.

       INFINITY    A constant expression of type ffllooaatt representing positive
                   or unsigned infinity, if available; else a positive
                   constant of type ffllooaatt that overflows at translation time.

       NAN         A constant expression of type ffllooaatt representing a quiet
                   NaN. This macro is only defined if the implementation
                   supports quiet NaNs for the ffllooaatt type.

       The following macros shall be defined for number classification. They
       represent the mutually-exclusive kinds of floating-point values. They
       expand to integer constant expressions with distinct values. Additional
       implementation-defined floating-point classifications, with macro
       definitions beginning with FP_ and an uppercase letter, may also be
       specified by the implementation.

              FP_INFINITE FP_NAN FP_NORMAL FP_SUBNORMAL FP_ZERO

       The following optional macros indicate whether the _f_m_a() family of
       functions are fast compared with direct code:

              FP_FAST_FMA FP_FAST_FMAF FP_FAST_FMAL

       If defined, the FP_FAST_FMA macro shall expand to the integer constant
       1 and shall indicate that the _f_m_a() function generally executes about
       as fast as, or faster than, a multiply and an add of ddoouubbllee operands.
       If undefined, the speed of execution is unspecified. The other macros
       have the equivalent meaning for the ffllooaatt and lloonngg ddoouubbllee versions.

       The following macros shall expand to integer constant expressions whose
       values are returned by _i_l_o_g_b(_x) if _x is zero or NaN, respectively. The
       value of FP_ILOGB0 shall be either {INT_MIN} or -{INT_MAX}.  The value
       of FP_ILOGBNAN shall be either {INT_MAX} or {INT_MIN}.

              FP_ILOGB0 FP_ILOGBNAN

       The following macros shall expand to the integer constants 1 and 2,
       respectively;

              MATH_ERRNO MATH_ERREXCEPT

       The following macro shall expand to an expression that has type iinntt and
       the value MATH_ERRNO, MATH_ERREXCEPT, or the bitwise-inclusive OR of
       both:

              math_errhandling

       The value of math_errhandling is constant for the duration of the
       program. It is unspecified whether math_errhandling is a macro or an
       identifier with external linkage. If a macro definition is suppressed
       or a program defines an identifier with the name math_errhandling , the
       behavior is undefined. If the expression (math_errhandling &
       MATH_ERREXCEPT) can be non-zero, the implementation shall define the
       macros FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INVALID, and FE_OVERFLOW in _<_f_e_n_v_._h_>.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

       The following external variable shall be defined:


           extern int signgam;

       The behavior of each of the functions defined in _<_m_a_t_h_._h_> is specified
       in the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1-2017 for all representable
       values of its input arguments, except where stated otherwise. Each
       function shall execute as if it were a single operation without
       generating any externally visible exceptional conditions.

AAPPPPLLIICCAATTIIOONN UUSSAAGGEE
       The FP_CONTRACT pragma can be used to allow (if the state is on) or
       disallow (if the state is off) the implementation to contract
       expressions. Each pragma can occur either outside external declarations
       or preceding all explicit declarations and statements inside a compound
       statement. When outside external declarations, the pragma takes effect
       from its occurrence until another FP_CONTRACT pragma is encountered, or
       until the end of the translation unit. When inside a compound
       statement, the pragma takes effect from its occurrence until another
       FP_CONTRACT pragma is encountered (including within a nested compound
       statement), or until the end of the compound statement; at the end of a
       compound statement the state for the pragma is restored to its
       condition just before the compound statement. If this pragma is used in
       any other context, the behavior is undefined. The default state (on or
       off) for the pragma is implementation-defined.

       Applications should use FLT_MAX as described in the _<_f_l_o_a_t_._h_> header
       instead of the obsolescent MAXFLOAT.

       Note that if FLT_EVAL_METHOD is neither 0 nor 1, then some constants
       might not compare equal as expected; for example, (double)M_PI == M_PI
       can fail.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       Before the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard, the math library was defined
       only for the floating type ddoouubbllee.  All the names formed by appending
       ''ff'' or ''ll'' to a name in _<_m_a_t_h_._h_> were reserved to allow for the
       definition of ffllooaatt and lloonngg ddoouubbllee libraries; and the
       ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard provides for all three versions of math
       functions.

       The functions _e_c_v_t(), _f_c_v_t(), and _g_c_v_t() have been dropped from the
       ISO C standard since their capability is available through _s_p_r_i_n_t_f().
