vz_exp_, vc_exp_ - vector complex exponential functions
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lmvec [ library... ]
void vz_exp_(int *n, double complex * restrict z,
int *stridez, double complex * restrict w int *stridew,
double * tmp);
void vc_exp_(int *n, float complex * restrict z,
int *stridez, float complex * restrict w, int *stridew,
float * tmp);
DESCRIPTION
These functions evaluate the complex function exp(z) for an entire vec‐
tor of values at once. The first parameter specifies the number of val‐
ues 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. The last
argument is a pointer to scratch storage; this storage must be large
enough to hold *n consecutive values of the real type corresponding to
the complex type of the argument and result.
Specifically, vz_exp_(n, z, sz, w, sw, tmp) computes w[i * *sw] =
exp(z[i * *sz]) for each i = 0, 1, ..., *n - 1. The vc_exp_() function
performs the same computation for single precision data.
These functions are not guaranteed to deliver results that are identi‐
cal to the results of the cexp(3M) functions given the same arguments.
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.
Unlike the c99 cexp(3M) functions, the vector complex exponential func‐
tions make no attempt to handle special cases and exceptions; they sim‐
ply use textbook formulas to compute a complex exponential in terms of
real elementary functions. As a result, these functions can raise dif‐
ferent exceptions and/or deliver different results from cexp().
