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

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

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