<h4><a name="tag_03_170_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<div class="box"><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]"
border="0"> The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO&nbsp;C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO&nbsp;C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO&nbsp;C standard. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></div>
<p>These functions shall compute (<i>x</i>&nbsp;*&nbsp;<i>y</i>)&nbsp;+&nbsp;<i>z</i>, rounded as one ternary operation: they shall
compute the value (as if) to infinite precision and round once to the result format, according to the rounding mode characterized
by the value of FLT_ROUNDS.</p>
<p>An application wishing to check for error situations should set <i>errno</i> to zero and call
<i>feclearexcept</i>(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if <i>errno</i> is non-zero or
<i>fetestexcept</i>(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_170_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, these functions shall return (<i>x</i>&nbsp;*&nbsp;<i>y</i>)&nbsp;+ <i>z</i>, rounded as one ternary
operation.</p>
<p><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('MX')">MX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0"> If
<i>x</i> or <i>y</i> are NaN, a NaN shall be returned.</p>
<p>If <i>x</i> multiplied by <i>y</i> is an exact infinity and <i>z</i> is also an infinity but with the opposite sign, a domain
error shall occur, and either a NaN (if supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be returned.</p>
<p>If one of <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> is infinite, the other is zero, and <i>z</i> is not a NaN, a domain error shall occur, and
either a NaN (if supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be returned.</p>
<p>If one of <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> is infinite, the other is zero, and <i>z</i> is a NaN, a NaN shall be returned and a domain
error may occur.</p>
<p>If <i>x</i>* <i>y</i> is not 0*Inf nor Inf*0 and <i>z</i> is a NaN, a NaN shall be returned. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif"

<h4><a name="tag_03_170_06"></a>EXAMPLES</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>None.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_170_07"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>On error, the expressions (math_errhandling &amp; MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling &amp; MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of
each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_170_08"></a>RATIONALE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>In many cases, clever use of floating (<i>fused</i>) multiply-add leads to much improved code; but its unexpected use by the
compiler can undermine carefully written code. The FP_CONTRACT macro can be used to disallow use of floating multiply-add; and the
<i>fma</i>() function guarantees its use where desired. Many current machines provide hardware floating multiply-add instructions;
software implementation can be used for others.</p>
