feraiseexcept()

QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Raise the specified floating-point exceptions

Synopsis:

#include <fenv.h>

int feraiseexcept( const int excepts );

Arguments:

excepts
A bitwise OR of the flags corresponding to the floating-point exceptions that you want to raise; 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
The general-purpose math library.
libm-sve
A library that optimizes the code for ARMv8.2 chips that have Scalable Vector Extension hardware.

Your system requirements will determine how you should work with these libraries:

  • If you want only selected processes to run with the SVE version, you can include both libraries in your OS image and use the -l m or -l m-sve option to qcc to link explicitly against the appropriate one.
  • If you want all processes to use the SVE version, include libm-sve.so in your OS image and set up a symbolic link from libm.so to libm-sve.so. Use the -l m option to qcc to link against the library.
Note:
Compile your program with the -fno-builtin option to prevent the compiler from using a built-in version of the function.
