fesetexceptflag()

Set the states of the specified floating-point status flags

Synopsis:

#include <fenv.h>

int fesetexceptflag( const fexcept_t *flagp,
                     int excepts );

Arguments:

flagp

A pointer to a fexcept_t object where the function can get the state information from.

excepts

A bitwise OR of the flags whose states you want to set; zero or more of the following:

FE_ALL_EXCEPT — all the bits
FE_DENORMAL — the result of a floating-point expression is a denormalized number
FE_DIVBYZERO — pole error
FE_INEXACT — the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number
FE_INVALID — domain error
FE_OVERFLOW — result is too large to be representable
FE_UNDERFLOW — result is subnormal with a loss of precision

Library:

libm

Description:

The fesetexceptflag() function attempts to copy the states of the specified floating-point exceptions from the object pointed to by flagp. It doesn't actually raise any exceptions; it simply sets the state of the flags. The state isn't necessarily just a boolean value.

Returns:
