.Nm tgmath
.Nd type-generic macros
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In tgmath.h
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The header
.In tgmath.h
provides type-generic macros
for
.In math.h
and
.In complex.h
functions that have
.Vt float
(suffixed with
.Sm off
.Sy f )
,
.Sm on
.Vt double
and
.Vt long double
(suffixed with
.Sy l )
versions.
The arguments that vary across the three functions and have type
.Vt float ,
.Vt double
and
.Vt "long double" ,
respectively, are called
.Em generic arguments .
.Pp
The following rules describe which function is actually called if a
type-generic macro is invoked. If any generic argument has type
.Vt "long double"
or
.Vt "long double complex" ,
the
.Vt "long double"
function is called. Else if any generic argument has type
.Vt double ,
.Vt "double complex"
or an integer type, the
.Vt double
version is invoked. Otherwise the macro expands to the
.Vt float
implementation.
.Pp
For the macros in the following table, both real and complex functions
exist.
The real functions are prototyped in
.In math.h
and the complex equivalents in
.In complex.h .
The complex function is called if any of the generic arguments is a
complex value.
Otherwise the real equivalent is called.

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

.It Li cbrt Ta fmax Ta log10 Ta remquo

.It Li expm1 Ta ldexp Ta nextbyint Ta trunc
.It Li fdim Ta lgamma Ta nextafter
.It Li floor Ta llrint Ta nexttoward
.El
.Pp
The following macros always expand to a complex function:
.Bl -column -offset indent cimag cimag cimag cimag cimag
.It Li carg Ta cimag Ta conj Ta cproj Ta creal
.El
.Pp
This header includes
.In complex.h
and
.In math.h .
.Sh STANDARDS
.In tgmath.h
conforms to
.St -isoC-99 .
.Sh HISTORY
The header
.In tgmath.h
first appeared in
.Fx 5.3 .
.Sh BUGS
.In tgmath.h
cannot be implemented with strictly conforming C code and needs
special compiler support. The current implementation only works for GCC.
.Pp
Many of the functions mentioned here are not prototyped in
.In math.h
or
.In complex.h
as they are not yet implemented.
