The prototypes for scalbf and scalbl given in scalb.3 are incorrect. If you have doubts, try compiling the following code: #include <math.h> double scalb(double x, double exp); float scalbf(float x, double exp); long double scalbl(long double x, double exp); To gain confidence that the prototypes below are correct, compile the following: #include <math.h> double scalb(double x, double exp); float scalbf(float x, float exp); long double scalbl(long double x, long double exp); Or search for man pages from other sources, e.g.: http://www.unix.com/man-page/OpenSolaris/3m/scalbf/ http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/html/816-5172/scalb-3m.html The patch below fixes these mistakes.
