COPYSIGN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual COPYSIGN(3)NAME
copysign, copysignf, copysignl - copy sign of a number
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double copysign(double x, double y);
float copysignf(float x, float y);
long double copysignl(long double x, long double y);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
copysign(), copysignf(), copysignl(): _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
The copysign() functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of x, but whose sign bit matches that of y.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return a value whose magnitude is taken from x and whose sign is taken from y.
If x is a NaN, a NaN with the sign bit of y is returned.
ERRORS
No errors occur.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001. This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854).
NOTES
On architectures where the floating-point formats are not IEEE 754 compliant, the copysign() functions may treat a negative zero as posi-
tive.

DESCRIPTION
The copysign() functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of x, but whose sign bit matches that of y.
For example, copysign(42.0, -1.0) and copysign(-42.0, -1.0) both return -42.0.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return a value whose magnitude is taken from x and whose sign is taken from y.
If x is a NaN, a NaN with the sign bit of y is returned.

No errors occur.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
