fetestexcept 3M "12 Jul 2006" "SunOS 5.11" "Mathematical Library Functions"
NAME
fetestexcept - test floating-point exception flags
SYNOPSIS

c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <fenv.h>

int fetestexcept(int excepts);
DESCRIPTION

The fetestexcept() function determines which of a specified subset of the floating-point exception flags are currently set. The excepts argument specifies the floating-point status flags to be queried.

RETURN VALUES

The fetestexcept() function returns the value of the bitwise-inclusive OR of the floating-point exception macros corresponding to the currently set floating-point exceptions included in excepts.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Example using fetestexcept()

The following example calls function f( ) if an invalid exception is set, and then function g( ) if an overflow exception is set:

#include <fenv.h>
/* ... */
{
# pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
 int set_excepts; 
 feclearexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
 // maybe raise exceptions
 set_excepts = fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
 if (set_excepts & FE_INVALID) f();
 if (set_excepts & FE_OVERFLOW) g();
 /* ... */
}
