# Function Index

## Naming Conventions

Most functions are specified as signaling functions, which call the trap handler if a trap-enabled condition occurs. This behavior is not always desirable. For example, if temporary storage has been allocated and an error occurs, it is better to free the storage first and raise the condition at function exit. Another example is a threaded application where many functions use the same context simultaneously.

For each signaling function in the specification, libmpdec offers a quiet, thread-safe counterpart. The naming convention is such that if the signaling function is called `mpd_add`, the quiet function is called `mpd_qadd`.

All signaling functions are wrappers around quiet functions:

    void mpd_qmul(mpd_t *result, const mpd_t *a, const mpd_t *b,
                  const mpd_context_t *ctx, uint32_t *status);

    void
    mpd_mul(mpd_t *result, const mpd_t *a, const mpd_t *b, mpd_context_t *ctx)
    {
            uint32_t status = 0;
            mpd_qmul(result, a, b, ctx, &status);
            mpd_addstatus_raise(ctx, status);
    }

Instead of writing to the context, `mpd_qmul` only updates the status parameter. `mpd_addstatus_raise` adds the accumulated status to the context and calls the trap handler if necessary.

For brevity’s sake, throughout this document only the quiet versions of functions will be explained.

## Thread Safety

Changed in version 2.4: All quiet functions are now thread-safe.
