17 Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
18
19 fma(), fmaf(), fmal(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or
20 cc -std=c99
21
23 The fma() function computes x * y + z. The result is rounded as one
24 ternary operation according to the current rounding mode (see fenv(3)).
25
27 These functions return the value of x * y + z, rounded as one ternary
28 operation.
29
30 If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
31
32 If x times y is an exact infinity, and z is an infinity with the oppo‐
33 site sign, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
34
35 If one of x or y is an infinity, the other is 0, and z is not a NaN, a
36 domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
37
38 If one of x or y is an infinity, and the other is 0, and z is a NaN, a
39 domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
40
41 If x times y is not an infinity times zero (or vice versa), and z is a
42 NaN, a NaN is returned.
43
44 If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and an infinity with the
45 correct sign is returned.
46
47 If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and a signed 0 is
48 returned.
49
51 See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
52 has occurred when calling these functions.
53
54 The following errors can occur:
55
56 Domain error: x * y + z, or x * y is invalid and z is not a NaN
57 An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
58
59 Range error: result overflow
60 An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
61
62 Range error: result underflow
63 An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
64
65 These functions do not set errno.
66
68 These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
