or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
fegetexceptflag,
fesetexceptflag
--- get and set floating-point status flags
SYNOPSIS
#include <fenv.h>
int fegetexceptflag(fexcept_t *flagp, int excepts);
int fesetexceptflag(const fexcept_t *flagp, int excepts);
DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
The
fegetexceptflag()
function shall attempt to store an implementation-defined representation
of the states of the floating-point status flags indicated by the argument
excepts
in the object pointed to by the argument
flagp.
The
fesetexceptflag()
function shall attempt to set the floating-point status flags indicated
by the argument
excepts
to the states stored in the object pointed to by
flagp.
The value pointed to by
flagp
shall have been set by a previous call to
fegetexceptflag()
whose second argument represented at least those floating-point
exceptions represented by the argument
excepts.
This function does not raise floating-point exceptions, but only sets
the state of the flags.
RETURN VALUE
If the representation was successfully stored,
fegetexceptflag()
shall return zero. Otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value. If the
excepts
argument is zero or if all the specified exceptions were successfully
set,
fesetexceptflag()
shall return zero. Otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value.
