typedefs#

typedef float spc_

spc_ is real single precision

typedef double rpc_

rpc_ is the real working precision used, but may be changed to float by defining the preprocessor variable REAL_32 or (if supported) to __real128 using the variable REAL_128.

typedef int ipc_

ipc_ is the default integer word length used, but may be changed to int64_t by defining the preprocessor variable INTEGER_64.

function and structure names#

The function and structure names described below are appropriate for the default real working precision (double) and integer word length (int32_t). To use the functions and structures with different precisions and integer word lengths, an additional suffix must be added to their names (and the arguments set accordingly). The appropriate suffices are:

_s for single precision (float) reals and standard 32-bit (int32_t) integers;

_q for quadruple precision (__real128) reals (if supported) and standard 32-bit (int32_t) integers;

_64 for standard precision (double) reals and 64-bit (int64_t) integers;

_s_64 for single precision (float) reals and 64-bit (int64_t) integers; and

_q_64 for quadruple precision (__real128) reals (if supported) and 64-bit (int64_t) integers.

Thus a call to ssls_initialize below will instead be

void ssls_initialize_s_64(void **data, struct ssls_control_type_s_64* control,
                         int64_t *status)

if single precision (float) reals and 64-bit (int64_t) integers are required. Thus it is possible to call functions for this package with more that one precision and/or integer word length at same time. An example is provided for the package expo, and the obvious modifications apply equally here.

function calls#
