sincosl
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
