log10#

Synopsis#

#include <math.h>

double log10(double x);

float log10f(float x);

long double log10l(long double x);

Status#

Partially implemented

Conformance#

IEEE Std 1003.1-2017

Description#

These functions shall compute the base 10 logarithms of their argument x, log10(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.

Return value#

Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the base 10 logarithms of x.

  • If x is ±0, a pole error shall occur and log10(), log10f(), and log10l() shall return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respectively.

For finite values of x that are less than 0, or if x is -Inf, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN (if supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be returned.

  • If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

  • If x is 1, +0 shall be returned.

  • If x is +Inf, +Inf shall be returned.

Errors#

These functions shall fail if:

  • Domain Error - The finite value of x is negative, or x is -Inf. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to EDOM. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.

  • Pole Error - The value of x is zero. 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 divide-by-zero floating-point exception shall be raised.
