Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form
the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal
with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest.
Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in
the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC
JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO
and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 24747 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC
22, Programming languages, their environments and system software interfaces.

Introduction
This International Standard is divided into three major subdivisions:
— preliminary elements (clauses 1 - 4);
— indicating conformance (clause 5);
— the library facilities (clause 6).
Footnotes are provided to emphasize consequences of the rules described in that subclause or elsewhere in this In-
ternational Standard. References are used to refer to other related documents and subclauses. A bibliography lists
documents that were referred to during the preparation of this International Standard.

5 Predefined macro names [pred]
1 The following macro name is conditionally defined by the implementation:
__STDC_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ The integer constant 200808, intended to indicate conformance to this International

Standard.

The intention is that this will remain an integer constant of typelong int that is increased with each revision of this International Standard.

6 Mathematical special functions [num.sf]
6.1 Standard headers [num.sf.header]
1 The functions declared in Clause 6 and its subclauses are not declared by their respective header if __STDC_WANT_-
MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ is defined as a macro which expands to the integer constant0 at the point in the source file where
the appropriate header is included.
2 The functions declared in Clause 6 and its subclauses are declared by their respective headers if__STDC_WANT_MATH_-
SPEC_FUNCS__ is defined as a macro which expands to the integer constant 1 at the point in the source file where the
2)
appropriate header is included.
3 Functions declared in Clause 6 and its subclauses shall not be declared by their respective headers if __STDC_WANT_-
MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ is not defined as a macro at the point in the source file where the appropriate header is included.
4 Within a preprocessing translation unit, __STDC_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ shall be defined identically for all in-
clusions of any headers from Clause 6. If __STDC_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ is defined differently for any such
inclusion, the implementation shall issue a diagnostic as if a preprocessor error directive was used.
6.2 Additions to header [num.sf.math]
1 Table 2 summarizes the functions that are added to header. The detailed signatures are given in the synopsis.
2 Each of these functions is provided for arguments of typefloat, double, andlong double. The signatures added to
header are:
// [6.2.1] associated Laguerre polynomials:
double assoc_laguerre(unsigned n, unsigned m, double x);
float assoc_laguerref(unsigned n, unsigned m, float x);
long double assoc_laguerrel(unsigned n, unsigned m, long double x);

2)
Future revisions of this International Standard may define meanings for other values of__STDC_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__.
