void vz_log_(int *n, double complex * restrict z,
 int *stridez, double _complex * restrict w, int *stridew);

void vc_log_(int *n, float complex * restrict z,
 int *stridez, float complex * restrict w, int *stridew);

These functions evaluate the complex function log(z) for an entire vector of values at once. The first parameter specifies the number of values to compute. Subsequent parameters specify the argument and result vectors. Each vector is described by a pointer to the first element and a stride, which is the increment between successive elements.

Specifically, vz_log_(n, z, sz, w, sw) computes w[i * *sw] = log(z[i * *sz]) for each i = 0, 1, ..., *n - 1. The vc_log_() function performs the same computation for single precision data.

These functions are not guaranteed to deliver results that are identical to the results of the clog(3M) functions given the same arguments.

The element count *n must be greater than zero. The strides for the argument and result arrays can be arbitrary integers, but the arrays themselves must not be the same or overlap. A zero stride effectively collapses an entire vector into a single element. A negative stride causes a vector to be accessed in descending memory order, but note that the corresponding pointer must still point to the first element of the vector to be used; if the stride is negative, this will be the highest-addressed element in memory. This convention differs from the Level 1 BLAS, in which array parameters always refer to the lowest-addressed element in memory even when negative increments are used.

These functions assume that the default round-to-nearest rounding direction mode is in effect. On x86, these functions also assume that the default round-to-64-bit rounding precision mode is in effect. The result of calling a vector function with a non-default rounding mode in effect is undefined.

Unlike the c99 clog(3M) functions, the vector complex exponential functions make no attempt to handle special cases and exceptions; they simply use textbook formulas to compute a complex exponential in terms of real elementary functions. As a result, these functions can raise different exceptions and/or deliver different results from clog().
