Header file

#include <eve/module/special.hpp>

Callable Signatures

namespace eve
{
   // Regular overload
   constexpr auto erfc(floating_value auto x)                          noexcept; // 1
 
   // Lanes masking
   constexpr auto erfc[conditional_expr auto c](floating_value auto x) noexcept; // 2
   constexpr auto erfc[logical_value auto m](floating_value auto x)    noexcept; // 2
}

Parameters

• x: floating value.
• c: Conditional expression masking the operation.
• m: Logical value masking the operation.

Return value

1. The value of the complementary error function: \( \displaystyle \mbox{erf}(x)=1-\frac{2}{\sqrt\pi}\int_0^{x} e^{-t^2}\mbox{d}t\). In particular:
   • If the argument is \(\pm0\), \(1\) is returned.
   • If the argument is \(\infty\), \(1\) is returned.
   • If the argument is \(-\infty\), \(2\) is returned.
   • If the argument is Nan, nan is returned.
2. The operation is performed conditionnaly.
