// Define tgamma function with a no overflow policy

#include <boost/math/special_functions/gamma.hpp>
//using boost::math::tgamma;
// Need not declare using boost::math::tgamma here,
// because will define tgamma in myspace using macro below.

namespace myspace

  typedef policy<overflow_error<errno_on_error> > my_policy;

  // Define the special functions in this scope to use the policy:

// Now we can use myspace::tgamma etc.

//
double t = myspace::tgamma(30.0); // Will *not* throw on overflow,
// despite the large value of factorial 30 = 265252859812191058636308480000000
// unlike default policy boost::math::tgamma;

Output:
