Notes
The standard C macros __STDC_IEC_559__ and __STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__ are made obsolete by this technical specification.
All functions and macros added to the C library by this extension are only declared if a macro __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ is defined before the corresponding header is included.
Besides additions to the standard library, ISO/IEC TS 18661-1:2014 makes a number of changes to the core language, notably splitting floating-point control between static (controlled by the new #pragma STDC FENV_ROUND), and dynamic (controlled by fesetround). Most math.h functions respect the static rounding mode, if set, over the dynamic rounding mode.
