.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
When a floating point exception is detected, the exception sticky flag is
|
|
set and the exception mask is tested. If the mask is set, then a trap
|
|
occurs. These routines allow both setting the floating point exception
|
|
masks, and resetting the exception sticky flags after an exception is
|
|
detected. In addition, they allow setting the floating point rounding mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fpgetround
|
|
function
|
|
returns the current floating point rounding mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fpsetround
|
|
function
|
|
sets the floating point rounding mode and returns
|
|
the previous mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fpgetmask
|
|
function
|
|
returns the current floating point exception masks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fpsetmask
|
|
function
|
|
sets the floating point exception masks and returns the
|
|
previous masks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fpgetsticky
|
|
function
|
|
returns the current floating point sticky flags.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fpresetsticky
|
|
function
|
|
clears the floating point sticky flags and returns
|
|
the previous flags.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sample code which prevents a trap on divide-by-zero:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
fpsetmask(~FP_X_DZ);
|
|
a = 1.0;
|
|
b = 0;
|
|
c = a / b;
|
|
fpresetsticky(FP_X_DZ);
|
|
fpsetmask(FP_X_DZ);

|
.Sh CAVEAT
|
|
After a floating point exception and before a mask is set, the sticky
|
|
flags must be reset. If another exception occurs before the sticky
|
|
flags are reset, then a wrong exception type may be signaled.

These routines are based on SysV/386 routines of the same name.
