Description

Fallback functions gwy_math_fallback_foo are defined for mathematical functions foo that might not be implemented on all platforms and are commonly used in Gwyddion. These functions are always defined (as static inline), however, you should not use them as they can be less efficient or precise than the standard functions.

For each unavailable function (and only for those), this header file defines a replacement macro expanding to the name of the fallback function. Therefore after including it, you can use for instance cbrt regardless if the platform provides it or not. Note this header has to be included explicitly to avoid possible inadvertent clashes with other definitions of cbrt.

Since all replacement macros expand to names of functions, it is possible to take the address of any of them.
