vcospi_, vcospif_ - vector cospi functions
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lmvec [ library... ]
void vcospi_(int *n, double * restrict x, int *stridex,
double * restrict y, int *stridey);
void vcosfpi_(int *n, float * restrict x, int *stridex,
float * restrict y, int *stridey);
DESCRIPTION
These functions evaluate the function cospi(x), defined by cospi(x) =
cos(pi * x), for an entire vector of values at once. The first parame‐
ter specifies the number of values to compute. Subsequent parameters
specify the argument and result vectors. Each vector is described by a
pointer to the first element and a stride, which is the increment
between successive elements.
Specifically, vcospi_(n, x, sx, y, sy) computes y[i * *sy] = cospi(x[i
* *sx]) for each i = 0, 1, ..., *n - 1. The vcospif_() function per‐
forms the same computation for single precision data.
Non-exceptional results are accurate to within a unit in the last
place.
USAGE
The element count *n must be greater than zero. The strides for the
argument and result arrays can be arbitrary integers, but the arrays
themselves must not be the same or overlap. A zero stride effectively
collapses an entire vector into a single element. A negative stride
causes a vector to be accessed in descending memory order, but note
that the corresponding pointer must still point to the first element of
the vector to be used; if the stride is negative, this will be the
highest-addressed element in memory. This convention differs from the
Level 1 BLAS, in which array parameters always refer to the lowest-
addressed element in memory even when negative increments are used.
These functions assume that the default round-to-nearest rounding
direction mode is in effect. On x86, these functions also assume that
the default round-to-64-bit rounding precision mode is in effect. The
result of calling a vector function with a non-default rounding mode in
effect is undefined.
These functions handle special cases and exceptions in the spirit of
IEEE 754. In particular,
o cospi(NaN) is NaN,
o cospi(±Inf) is NaN, and an invalid operation exception is
raised.
An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearex‐
cept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if
fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is
non-zero, an exception has been raised. The application can then exam‐
ine the result or argument vectors for exceptional values. Some vector
functions can raise the inexact exception even if all elements of the
argument array are such that the numerical results are exact.
