SINCOS(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                SINCOS(3)

NAME top

       sincos, sincosf, sincosl - calculate sin and cos simultaneously

SYNOPSIS top

       #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <math.h>

       void sincos(double x, double *sin, double *cos);
       void sincosf(float x, float *sin, float *cos);
       void sincosl(long double x, long double *sin, long double *cos);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION top

       Several applications need sine and cosine of the same angle x.  These
       functions compute both at the same time, and store the results in
       *sin and *cos.  Using this function can be more efficient than two
       separate calls to sin(3) and cos(3).

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned in *sin and *cos.

       If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error
       occurs, and a NaN is returned in *sin and *cos.

RETURN VALUE top

       These functions return void.

ERRORS top

       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
       error has occurred when calling these functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Domain error: x is an infinity
              errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS).  An invalid floating-
              point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.

VERSIONS top

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

CONFORMING TO top

       These functions are GNU extensions.

NOTES top

       To see the performance advantage of sincos(), it may be necessary to
       disable gcc(1) built-in optimizations, using flags such as:

           cc -O -lm -fno-builtin prog.c

BUGS top

       Before version 2.22, the glibc implementation did not set errno to
       EDOM when a domain error occurred.
