.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In fenv.h
|
|
.Fd "#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn fegetenv "fenv_t *envp"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn feholdexcept "fenv_t *envp"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn fesetenv "const fenv_t *envp"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn feupdateenv "const fenv_t *envp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The floating-point environment includes exception flags and masks, the
|
|
current rounding mode, and other architecture-specific settings.
|
|
However, it does not include the floating-point register file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fegetenv
|
|
function stores the current floating-point environment in the object
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Fa envp ,
|
|
whereas
|
|
.Fn feholdexcept
|
|
saves the current environment, then clears all exception flags
|
|
and masks all floating-point exceptions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fesetenv
|
|
function restores a previously saved environment.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn feupdateenv
|
|
function restores a saved environment as well, but it also
|
|
raises any exceptions that were set in the environment it
|
|
replaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn feholdexcept
|
|
function is often used with
|
|
.Fn feupdateenv
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn fesetenv
|
|
to suppress spurious exceptions that occur as a result of
|
|
intermediate computations.
|
|
An example in
|
|
.Xr fenv 3
|
|
demonstrates how to do this.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
