30.Sh NAME
31.Nm tgmath
32.Nd "type-generic macros"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In tgmath.h
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The header
37.In tgmath.h
38provides type-generic macros
39for
40.In math.h
41and
42.In complex.h
43functions that have
44.Vt float
45(suffixed with
46.Sy f ) ,
47.Vt double
48and
49.Vt "long double"
50(suffixed with
51.Sy l )
52versions.
53The arguments that vary across the three functions and have type
54.Vt float , double
55and
56.Vt "long double" ,
57respectively, are called
58.Em "generic arguments" .
59.Pp
60The following rules describe which function is actually called if a
61type-generic macro is invoked.
62If any generic argument has type
63.Vt "long double"
64or
65.Vt "long double complex" ,
66the
67.Vt "long double"
68function is called.
69Else, if any generic argument has type
70.Vt double , "double complex"
71or an integer type, the
72.Vt double
73version is invoked.
74Otherwise, the macro expands to the
75.Vt float
76implementation.
77.Pp
78For the macros in the following table, both real and complex functions
79exist.
80The real functions are prototyped in
81.In math.h
82and the complex equivalents in
83.In complex.h .
84The complex function is called if any of the generic arguments is a
85complex value.
86Otherwise, the real equivalent is called.

106.El
107.Pp
108No complex functions exist for the following macros, so passing a
109complex value to a generic argument invokes undefined behaviour:

119.It Fn fdim Ta Fn lgamma Ta Fn nextafter Ta \&
120.It Fn floor Ta Fn llrint Ta Fn nexttoward Ta \&
121.El
122.Pp
123The following macros always expand to a complex function:
124.Bl -column -offset indent ".Fn cimag" ".Fn cimag" ".Fn cimag" ".Fn cimag" ".Fn cimag"
125.It Fn carg Ta Fn cimag Ta Fn conj Ta Fn cproj Ta Fn creal
126.El
127.Pp
128This header includes
129.In complex.h
130and
131.In math.h .
132.Sh STANDARDS
133The header
134.In tgmath.h
135conforms to
136.St -isoC-99 .
137.Sh HISTORY
138The header
139.In tgmath.h
140first appeared in
141.Fx 5.3 .
142.Sh COMPILER SUPPORT
143Before
144.St -isoC-2011 ,
145the header
146.In tgmath.h
147could not be implemented with strictly conforming C code and needed
148special compiler support.
149As of
150.St -isoC-2011 ,
151this header file can be implemented using the
152.Fn _Generic
153language keyword.
154In addition to compilers that support this keyword, this header file
155works with GCC.
156.Sh BUGS
157Many of the functions mentioned here are not prototyped in
158.In math.h
159or
160.In complex.h
161as they are not yet implemented.
162This prevents the corresponding type-generic macro from working at all.
