.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn feenableexcept
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn fedisableexcept
|
||
|
|
functions
|
||
|
|
unmask and mask (respectively) exceptions specified in
|
||
|
|
.Fa excepts .
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn fegetexcept
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
returns the current exception mask.
|
||
|
|
All exceptions are masked by default.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Floating-point operations that produce unmasked exceptions will trap, and a
|
||
|
|
.Dv SIGFPE
|
||
|
|
will be delivered to the process.
|
||
|
|
By installing a signal handler for
|
||
|
|
.Dv SIGFPE ,
|
||
|
|
applications can take appropriate action immediately without
|
||
|
|
testing the exception flags after every operation.
|
||
|
|
Note that the trap may not be immediate, but it should occur
|
||
|
|
before the next floating-point instruction is executed.
|
||
|
|
.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 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn feenableexcept ,
|
||
|
|
.Fn fedisableexcept ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn fegetexcept
|
||
|
|
functions return a bitmap of the exceptions that were unmasked
|
||
|
|
prior to the call.

.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
|
Functions in the standard library may trigger exceptions multiple
|
||
|
|
times as a result of intermediate computations;
|
||
|
|
however, they generally do not trigger spurious exceptions.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
No interface is provided to permit exceptions to be handled in
|
||
|
|
nontrivial ways.
|
||
|
|
There is no uniform way for an exception handler to access
|
||
|
|
information about the exception-causing instruction, or
|
||
|
|
to determine whether that instruction should be reexecuted
|
||
|
|
after returning from the handler.
