SINCOS(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 SINCOS(3)

NAME
       sincos, sincosf, sincosl - calculate sin and cos simultaneously

SYNOPSIS
       #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <math.h>

       void sincos(double x, double *sin, double *cos);
       void sincosf(float x, float *sin, float *cos);
       void sincosl(long double x, long double *sin, long double *cos);

       Link with -lm.

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.

RETURN VALUE
       These functions return void.

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
              An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.

       These functions do not set errno.

VERSIONS
       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

CONFORMING TO
       These functions are GNU extensions.

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
