This makes it thread safe, and therefore reentrant. @node Long Double Functions @chapter The long double function support of @code{libm} Currently, the full set of long double math functions is only provided on platforms where long double equals double. For such platforms, the long double math functions are implemented as calls to the double versions. @node Document Index @unnumbered Document Index @printindex cp @tex % I think something like @@colophon should be in texinfo.
