PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
feupdateenv
--- update floating-point environment
SYNOPSIS
#include <fenv.h>
int feupdateenv(const fenv_t *envp);
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
feupdateenv()
function shall attempt to save the currently raised floating-point
exceptions in its automatic storage, attempt to install the
floating-point environment represented by the object pointed to by
envp,
and then attempt to raise the saved floating-point exceptions. The
argument
envp
shall point to an object set by a call to
feholdexcept()
or
fegetenv(),
or equal a floating-point environment macro.
RETURN VALUE
The
feupdateenv()
function shall return a zero value if and only if all the required
actions were successfully carried out.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows sample code to hide spurious underflow
floating-point exceptions:
-
#include <fenv.h>
double f(double x)
{
#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
double result;
fenv_t save_env;
feholdexcept(&save_env);
// compute result
if (/* test spurious underflow */)
feclearexcept(FE_UNDERFLOW);
feupdateenv(&save_env);
return result;
}
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
