The arguments cmp to these operations must be cflonums, the arguments fl must be references to flonums. The following bindings are exported by the library (vicare system $compnums). iklib numerics for more functions acting on cflonums.

Unsafe Operation: $make-cflonum fl1 fl2

Allocate a new cflonum memory block, store fl1 as reference to the real part and fl2 as reference to the imaginary part. Return a reference to the cflonum.

Unsafe Operation: $cflonum-real cmp
