Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

fmax(), fmaxf(), fmaxl():

_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;

or cc -std=c99

These functions return the larger value of x and y.

These functions return the maximum of x and y.

If one argument is a NaN, the other argument is returned.

If both arguments are NaN, a NaN is returned.

No errors occur.

These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

Multithreading (see pthreads(7))

The fmax(), fmaxf(), and fmaxl() functions are thread-safe.

C99, POSIX.1-2001.
