sincos, sincosf, sincosl - calculate sin and cos simultaneously

Several applications need sine and cosine of the same angle x. These functions compute both at the same time, and store the results in *sin and *cos. Using this function can be more efficient than two separate calls to sin(3) and cos(3).
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned in *sin and *cos.
If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned in *sin and *cos.
These functions return void.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following
errors can occur:
Domain error: x is an infinity
An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
These functions do not set errno.
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
These functions are GNU extensions.
To see the performance advantage of sincos(), it may be necessary to disable gcc(1) builtin optimizations, using flags such as:
cc -O -lm -fno-builtin prog.c
cos(3), sin(3), tan(3)
