There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In math.h
|
|
.Ft double
|
|
.Fn hypot "double x" "double y"
|
|
.Ft float
|
|
.Fn hypotf "float x" "float y"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hypot
|
|
functions
|
|
compute the
|
|
sqrt(x*x+y*y)
|
|
in such a way that underflow will not happen, and overflow
|
|
occurs only if the final result deserves it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
|
|
=
|
|
.Fn hypot "v" "\*(If"
|
|
= +\*(If for all
|
|
.Ar v ,
|
|
including \*(Na.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
Below 0.97
|
|
.Em ulps .
|
|
Consequently
|
|
.Fn hypot "5.0" "12.0"
|
|
= 13.0
|
|
exactly;
|
|
in general, hypot returns an integer whenever an
|
|
integer might be expected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The same cannot be said for the shorter and faster version of hypot
|
|
that is provided in the comments in cabs.c; its error can
|
|
exceed 1.2
|
|
.Em ulps .
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
As might be expected,
|
|
.Fn hypot "v" "\*(Na"
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn hypot "\*(Na" "v"
|
|
are \*(Na for all
|
|
.Em finite
|
|
.Ar v ;
|
|
with "reserved operand" in place of "\*(Na", the
|
|
same is true on a
|
|
.Tn VAX .
|
|
But programmers on machines other than a
|
|
.Tn VAX
|
|
(it has no \*(If)
|
|
might be surprised at first to discover that
|
|
.Fn hypot "\(+-\*(If" "\*(Na"
|
|
= +\*(If.
|
|
This is intentional; it happens because
|
|
.Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
|
|
= +\*(If
|
|
for
|
|
.Em all
|
|
.Ar v ,
|
|
finite or infinite.
|
|
Hence
|
|
.Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
|
|
is independent of
|
|
.Ar v .
|
|
Unlike the reserved operand fault on a
|
|
.Tn VAX ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Tn IEEE
|
|
\*(Na is designed to
|
|
disappear when it turns out to be irrelevant, as it does in
|
|
.Fn hypot "\*(If" "\*(Na" .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
Both a
|
|
.Fn hypot
|
|
function and a
|
|
.Fn cabs
|
|
function
|
|
appeared in
|
|
.At v7 .
|
|
.Fn cabs
|
|
was removed from public namespace in
|
|
.Nx 5.0
|
|
to avoid conflicts with the complex function in C99.
