|
|
.Fd "#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON"
|
|
.Ft int
|

.Fn feclearexcept "int excepts"

|
|
.Fn fetestexcept "int excepts"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn feclearexcept
|
|
routine clears the floating-point exception flags specified by
|
|
.Fa excepts ,
|
|
whereas
|
|
.Fn feraiseexcept
|
|
raises the specified exceptions.
|
|
Raising an exception causes the corresponding flag to be set,
|
|
and a
|
|
.Dv SIGFPE
|
|
is delivered to the process if the exception is unmasked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fetestexcept
|
|
function determines which flags are currently set, of those specified by
|
|
.Fa excepts .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fegetexceptflag
|
|
function stores the state of the exception flags specified in
|
|
.Fa excepts
|
|
in the opaque object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa flagp .
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
.Fn fesetexceptflag
|
|
changes the specified exception flags to reflect the state stored in
|
|
the object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa flagp .
|
|
Note that the flags restored with
|
|
.Fn fesetexceptflag
|
|
must be a (not necessarily proper) subset of the flags recorded by
|
|
a prior call to
|
|
.Fn fegetexceptflag .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For all of these functions, the possible types of exceptions
|
|
include those described in
|
|
.Xr fenv 3 .
|
|
Some architectures may define other types of floating-point exceptions.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
On some architectures, raising an overflow or underflow exception
|
|
also causes an inexact exception to be raised.
|
|
In these cases, the overflow or underflow will be raised first.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fegetexceptflag
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fesetexceptflag
|
|
routines are preferred to
|
|
.Fn fetestexcept
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn feraiseexcept ,
|
|
respectively, for saving and restoring exception flags.
|
|
The latter do not re-raise exceptions and may preserve
|
|
architecture-specific information such as addresses where
|
|
exceptions occurred.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn feclearexcept ,
|
|
.Fn fegetexceptflag ,
|
|
.Fn feraiseexcept ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fesetexceptflag
|
|
functions return 0 upon success, and non-zero otherwise.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fetestexcept
|
|
function returns the bitwise OR of the values of the current exception
|
|
flags that were requested.
