Bugs
Before glibc 2.22, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred.
Description
Several applications need sine and cosine of the same angle x. These functions compute both at the same
time, and store the results in *sin and *cos. Using this function can be more efficient than two
separate calls to sin(3) and cos(3).
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned in *sin and *cos.
If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned in *sin and
*cos.
Errors
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these
functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x is an infinity
errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
History
glibc 2.1.
Library
Math library (libm, -lm)
Name
sincos, sincosf, sincosl - calculate sin and cos simultaneously
Notes
To see the performance advantage of sincos(), it may be necessary to disable gcc(1) built-in
optimizations, using flags such as:
cc -O -lm -fno-builtin prog.c
Return Value
These functions return void.
