.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The fenv routines manipulate the floating-point environment,
|
|
which includes the exception flags and rounding modes defined in
|
|
.St -ieee754 .
|
|
.Ss Exceptions
|
|
Exception flags are set as side-effects of floating-point arithmetic
|
|
operations and math library routines, and they remain set until
|
|
explicitly cleared.
|
|
The following macros expand to bit flags of type
|
|
.Vt int
|
|
representing the five standard floating-point exceptions.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv FE_DIVBYZERO"
|
|
.It Dv "FE_DIVBYZERO"
|
|
A divide-by-zero exception occurs when the program attempts to
|
|
divide a finite non-zero number by zero.
|
|
.It Dv "FE_INEXACT"
|
|
An inexact exception is raised whenever there is a loss of precision
|
|
due to rounding.
|
|
.It Dv "FE_INVALID"
|
|
Invalid operation exceptions occur when a program attempts to
|
|
perform calculations for which there is no reasonable representable
|
|
answer.
|
|
For instance, subtraction of infinities, division of zero by zero,
|
|
ordered comparison involving
|
|
.Na
|
|
s, and taking the square root of a
|
|
negative number are all invalid operations.
|
|
.It Dv "FE_OVERFLOW"
|
|
An overflow exception occurs when the magnitude of the result of a
|
|
computation is too large to fit in the destination type.
|
|
.It Dv "FE_UNDERFLOW"
|
|
Underflow occurs when the result of a computation is too close to zero
|
|
to be represented as a non-zero value in the destination type.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Additionally, the
|
|
.Dv FE_ALL_EXCEPT
|
|
macro expands to the bitwise OR of the above flags and any
|
|
architecture-specific flags.
|
|
Combinations of these flags are passed to the
|
|
.Fn feclearexcept ,
|
|
.Fn fegetexceptflag ,
|
|
.Fn feraiseexcept ,
|
|
.Fn fesetexceptflag ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fetestexcept
|
|
functions to clear, save, raise, restore, and examine the
|
|
processor's floating-point exception flags, respectively.
|
|
.Ss Rounding Modes
|
|
.St -ieee754
|
|
specifies four rounding modes.
|
|
These modes control the direction in which results are rounded
|
|
from their exact values in order to fit them into binary
|
|
floating-point variables.
|
|
The four modes correspond with the following symbolic constants.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv FE_TOWARDZERO"
|
|
.It Dv "FE_TONEAREST"
|
|
Results are rounded to the closest representable value.
|
|
If the exact result is exactly half way between two representable
|
|
values, the value whose last binary digit is even (zero) is chosen.
|
|
This is the default mode.
|
|
.It Dv "FE_DOWNWARD"
|
|
Results are rounded towards negative \*[If].
|
|
.It Dv "FE_UPWARD"
|
|
Results are rounded towards positive \*[If].
|
|
.It Dv "FE_TOWARDZERO"
|
|
Results are rounded towards zero.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fegetround
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fesetround
|
|
functions query and set the rounding mode.
|
|
.Ss Environment Control
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fegetenv
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fesetenv
|
|
functions save and restore the floating-point environment,
|
|
which includes exception flags, the current exception mask,
|
|
the rounding mode, and possibly other implementation-specific
|
|
state.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn feholdexcept
|
|
function behaves like
|
|
.Fn fegetenv ,
|
|
but with the additional effect of clearing the exception flags and
|
|
installing a
|
|
.Em non-stop
|
|
mode.
|
|
In non-stop mode, floating-point operations will set exception flags
|
|
as usual, but no
|
|
.Dv SIGFPE
|
|
signals will be generated as a result.
|
|
Non-stop mode is the default, but it may be altered by
|
|
non-standard mechanisms.
|
|
.\" XXX Mention fe[gs]etmask() here after the interface is finalized
|
|
.\" XXX and ready to be officially documented.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn feupdateenv
|
|
function restores a saved environment similarly to
|
|
.Fn fesetenv ,
|
|
but it also re-raises any floating-point exceptions from the old
|
|
environment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The macro
|
|
.Dv FE_DFL_ENV
|
|
expands to a pointer to the default environment.
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
The FENV_ACCESS pragma can be enabled with
|
|
.Dl "#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON"
|
|
and disabled with the
|
|
.Dl "#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS OFF"
|
|
directive.
|
|
This lexically-scoped annotation tells the compiler that the program
|
|
may access the floating-point environment, so optimizations that would
|
|
violate strict IEEE-754 semantics are disabled.
|
|
If execution reaches a block of code for which
|
|
.Dv FENV_ACCESS
|
|
is off, the floating-point environment will become undefined.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following routine computes the square root function.
|
|
It explicitly raises an invalid exception on appropriate inputs using
|
|
.Fn feraiseexcept .
|
|
It also defers inexact exceptions while it computes intermediate
|
|
values, and then it allows an inexact exception to be raised only if
|
|
the final answer is inexact.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
Except as noted below,
|
|
.In fenv.h
|
|
conforms to
|
|
.St -isoC-99 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.In fenv.h
|
|
header first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.3 .
|
|
It supersedes the non-standard routines defined in
|
|
.In ieeefp.h
|
|
and documented in
|
|
.Xr fpgetround 3 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv FENV_ACCESS
|
|
pragma is unimplemented in the system compiler.
|
|
However, non-constant expressions generally produce the correct
|
|
side-effects at low optimization levels.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On the Alpha platform,
|
|
.Xr cc 1
|
|
must be passed the
|
|
.Fl mieee-with-inexact mfp-rounding-mode=d
|
|
options in order to generate code that has the standard
|
|
side-effects and uses the specified rounding modes.
