Implements the binary operators for complex arithmetic and for mixed complex/scalar arithmetic. Scalar arguments are treated as complex numbers with the real part equal to the argument and the imaginary part set to zero.

1-3) Returns the sum of its arguments.

4-6) Returns the result of subtracting rhs from lhs.

7-9) Multiplies its arguments.

10-12) Divides lhs by rhs.

Parameters

lhs, rhs

-

the arguments: either both complex numbers or one complex and one scalar of matching type (float, double, longdouble)

Return value

1-3)std::complex<T>(lhs)+= rhs

4-6)std::complex<T>(lhs)-= rhs

7-9)std::complex<T>(lhs)*= rhs

10-12)std::complex<T>(lhs)/= rhs

Notes

Because template argument deduction does not consider implicit conversions, these operators cannot be used for mixed integer/complex arithmetic. In all cases, the scalar must have the same type as the underlying type of the complex number.

The GCC flag "-fcx-limited-range" (included by "-ffast-math") changes the behavior of complex multiply/division by removing checks for floating point edge cases. This impacts loop vectorization.

Example

Run this code

#include <complex>#include <iostream>   int main(){std::complex<double> c2(2.0, 0.0);std::complex<double> ci(0.0, 1.0);   std::cout<< ci <<" + "<< c2 <<" = "<< ci + c2 <<'\n'<< ci <<" * "<< ci <<" = "<< ci * ci <<'\n'<< ci <<" + "<< c2 <<" / "<< ci <<" = "<< ci + c2 / ci <<'\n'<<1<<" / "<< ci <<" = "<<1.0/ ci <<'\n';   // std::cout << 1.0f / ci; // compile error// std::cout << 1 / ci; // compile error}

Output:

(0,1) + (2,0) = (2,1) (0,1) * (0,1) = (-1,0) (0,1) + (2,0) / (0,1) = (0,-1) 1 / (0,1) = (0,-1)
