NAME
nearbyint
nearbyintf nearbyintl
— floating-point rounding functions
SYNOPSIS
#include
<math.h>
double nearbyint(double x); float nearbyintf(float x); long double nearbyintl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
[CX] The 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.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
These functions shall round their argument to an integer value in floating-point format, using the current rounding direction and without raising the inexact floating-point exception.
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 VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the rounded integer value.
[MX] If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is ±0, ±0 shall be returned.
If x is ±Inf, x shall be returned.
[XSI]
If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and
nearbyint (),
nearbyintf
(), and nearbyintl () shall return the value of the
macro ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, and ±HUGE_VALL (with the
same sign as x), respectively.
ERRORS
These functions shall fail if:
- Range Error
- [XSI] The result would cause an overflow.
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.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
On 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.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
