Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
The nextafter(), nextafterf(), and
nextafterl() functions return the next representable
floating-point value following x
in the direction of
y
. If y
is less than x
, these functions will
return the largest representable number less than x
.
If x
equals y
, the functions return y
.
The nexttoward(), nexttowardf(),
and nexttowardl() functions do the same as the
corresponding nextafter() functions, except that they
have a long double
second argument.
On success, these functions return the next representable
floating-point value after x
in the direction of
y
.
If x
equals y
, then y
(cast to the same
type as x
) is returned.
If x
or y
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x
is finite, and the result would overflow, a range error
occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL,
HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively,
with the correct mathematical sign.
If x
is not equal to y
, and the correct function
result would be subnormal, zero, or underflow, a range error occurs, and
either the correct value (if it can be represented), or 0.0, is
returned.
