NAMEscalbln, scalblnf, scalblnl, scalbn, scalbnf, scalbnl — compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
SYNOPSIS#include <math.h>
double scalbln(double x, long n);
float scalblnf(float x, long n);
long double scalblnl(long double x, long n);
double scalbn(double x, int n);
float scalbnf(float x, int n);
long double scalbnl(long double x, int n);
DESCRIPTIONThe functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard. These functions shall compute x * FLT_RADIXn efficiently, not normally by computing FLT_RADIXn explicitly. An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
RETURN VALUEUpon successful completion, these functions shall return x * FLT_RADIXn. If the result would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and these functions shall return ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, and ±HUGE_VALL (according to the sign of x) as appropriate for the return type of the function. If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not representable, a range error may occur, and scalbln(), scalblnf(), scalblnl(), scalbn(), scalbnf(), and scalbnl() shall return 0.0, or (if IEC 60559 Floating-Point is not supported) an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, LDBL_MIN, DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is ±0 or ±Inf, x shall be returned. If n is 0, x shall be returned. If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable, a range error may occur and the correct value shall be returned.
ERRORSThese functions shall fail if: Range Error The result overflows. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
These functions may fail if: Range Error The result underflows. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised. The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLESNone.
APPLICATION USAGEOn error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
RATIONALEThese functions are named so as to avoid conflicting with the historical definition of the scalb( ) function from the Single UNIX Specification. The difference is that the scalb( ) function has a second argument of double instead of int. The scalb( ) function is not part of the ISO C standard. The three functions whose second type is long are provided because the factor required to scale from the smallest positive floating-point value to the largest finite one, on many implementations, is too large to represent in the minimum-width int format.
FUTURE DIRECTIONSNone.
