<p>
These functions provide the same functionality as the macros with the same
name in C99, indeed if the C99 macros are available, then these functions are
implemented in terms of them, otherwise they rely on std::numeric_limits<>
to function.
</p>
<p>
Note that the definition of these functions <span class="emphasis"><em>does not suppress the
definition of these names as macros by math.h</em></span> on those platforms
that already provide these as macros. That mean that the following have differing
meanings:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="comment">// This might call a global macro if defined,</span>
<span class="comment">// but might not work if the type of z is unsupported </span>
<span class="comment">// by the std lib macro:</span>
<span class="identifier">isnan</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="comment">//</span>
<span class="comment">// This calls the Boost version</span>
<span class="comment">// (found via the "using namespace boost::math" declaration)</span>
<span class="comment">// it works for any type that has numeric_limits support for type z:</span>
<span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">isnan</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="comment">//</span>
<span class="comment">// As above but with explicit namespace qualification.</span>
<span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">isnan</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="comment">//</span>
<span class="comment">// This will cause a compiler error if isnan is a native macro:</span>
<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">isnan</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="comment">// So always use instead:</span>
<span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">isnan</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="comment">//</span>
<span class="comment">// You can also add a using statement,</span>
<span class="comment">// globally to a .cpp file, or to a local function in a .hpp file.</span>
<span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">isnan</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="comment">// so you can write the shorter and less cluttered</span>
<span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">isnan</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span>
<span class="comment">// But, as above, if isnan is a native macro, this causes a compiler error,</span>
<span class="comment">// because the macro always 'gets' the name first, unless enclosed in () brackets.</span>
