EXP2(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual EXP2(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
exp2, exp2f, exp2l — exponential base 2 functions
#include <math.h>
double exp2(double x);
float exp2f(float x);
long double exp2l(long double x);
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 compute the base-2 exponential of x.
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.
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return 2x.
If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur
and exp2(), exp2f(), and exp2l() shall return the value of the macro
HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL, respectively.
If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not representable,
a range error may occur, and exp2(), exp2f(), and exp2l() shall
return 0.0, or (if the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option is not
supported) an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude
than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is ±0, 1 shall be returned.
If x is −Inf, +0 shall be returned.
If x is +Inf, 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.
These 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.
None.
For IEEE Std 754‐1985 double, 1024 <= x implies exp2(x) has
overflowed. The value x< −1022 implies exp(x) has underflowed.
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.
None.
None.
