fesetprec()

QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Set the floating-point precision

Synopsis:

#include <fenv.h>

int fesetprec( int prec );

Arguments:

prec
The new precision; one of the following:
  • FE_PREC_SINGLE
  • FE_PREC_DOUBLE
  • FE_PREC_EXTENDED

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.

Description:

The fesetprec() function sets the floating-point precision. To get the current precision, call fegetprec().

Returns:

0 on success, or -1 if the prec was invalid.
