NAME

isgreater() — floating-point quiet comparison macro (>)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

int isgreater( floating-expr x, floating-expr y);

DESCRIPTION

The isgreater() macro determines whether its first argument is greater than its second argument. The value of isgreater(x,y) is always equal to (x) > (y); however, unlike (x) > (y), isgreater(x,y) does not raise the invalid exception when x and y are unordered.

The arguments must be of floating type. For Itanium(R)-based systems, the arguments can be any floating type. For PA-RISC, each argument must be either double or float.

USAGE

To use the isgreater() macro, compile either with the default -Ae option or with the -Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE options. Make sure your program includes <math.h>. Link in the math library by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUE

The isgreater() macro returns the value of (x) > (y). The macro raises no floating-point exceptions.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE

isgreater(): ISO/IEC C99
