fenv.h

fenv.h is the standard header providing access to the floating point environment.

Exceptions

The following exception flags expand to an integer value that is a power of 2.

Flag Description
FE_INEXACT Inexact result
FE_DIVBYZERO Divide by zero
FE_UNDERFLOW Underflow
FE_OVERFLOW Overflow
FE_INVALID Invalid operand or operation
FE_ALL_EXCEPT ORs all of the above exceptions

Rounding Modes

The following rounding modes each expand to a unique, positive constant of type int.

Mode Description
FE_TONEAREST Round to nearest value.
FE_UPWARD Round toward positive infinity.
FE_DOWNWARD Round toward negative infinity.
FE_TOWARDZERO Round toward zero; drop fraction.

Precision Modes

The following precision modes each expands to a unique constant of type int.

Mode Description
FE_FLTPREC Use float (32-bit) precision
FE_DBLPREC Use double (64-bit) precision
FE_LDBLPREC Use long double (80-bit) precision

feclearexcept

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
void feclearexcept(int excepts);
Description
Clears the exceptions specified by excepts.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.2.1
See Also
feraiseexcept

fegetexceptflag

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
void fegetexceptflag(fexcept_t *flagp, int excepts);
Description
Stores (in the structure pointed to by flagp) an implementation-specific representation of the exception flags specified by excepts. Type fexcept_t represents an exception flag.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.2.2
See Also
fesetexceptflag

feraiseexcept

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
int feraiseexcept(int excepts);
Description
Raises the exceptions specified by excepts.
Return Value
Returns a non-zero value if all exceptions specified by excepts are valid; otherwise, the return value is 0.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.2.3
See Also
feclearexcept

fesetexceptflag

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
void fesetexceptflag(const fexcept_t *flagp, int excepts);
Description
Sets the implementation-specific exception flags (from the structure pointed to by flagp) with the exception flags specified by excepts. *flagp should have been set by a previous call to fegetexceptflag; if not, the results are unpredictable. Type fexcept_t represents an exception flag.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.2.4
See Also
fegetexceptflag

fetestexcept

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
int fetestexcept(int excepts);
Description
Determines if any of the exceptions specified by excepts have been raised.
Return Value
The bitwise OR of the exceptions corresponding to the currently-raised exceptions specified by excepts. If none of the specified exceptions is raised, the return value is zero.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.2.5

fegetenv

fegetprec

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
int fegetprec(void);
Description
Gets the current precision mode.
Return Value
The current precision mode.
Compatibility
DOS Windows 3.x Phar Lap DOSX Win32
See Also
fesetprec

fesetprec

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
int fesetprec(int prec);
Description
Sets the precision mode to the value specified by prec. Precision mode has meaning only when inline coprocessor instructions are used; there is no affect without a coprocessor. When the program begins, the precision mode is FE_LDBLPREC.
Return Value
If prec is not one of the precision modes, fesetprec returns 0. Otherwise, it returns a non-zero value.
Compatibility
DOS Windows 3.x Phar Lap DOSX Win32
See Also
fegetprec

fegetround

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
int fegetround(void);
Description
Gets the current rounding mode. The value FLT_ROUNDS, declared in float.h, also evaluates to the current rounding mode.
Return Value
One of the rounding constants defined above.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.3.1
See Also
fesetround

fesetround

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
int fesetround(int round);
Description
Sets the rounding mode. The previous rounding mode is forgotten.
Return Value
Non-zero if successful; zero if invalid value given for round.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.3.2
See Also
fegetround

fegetenv

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
void fegetenv(fenv_t *envp);
Description
Copies the current floating-point environment (rounding mode, precision mode, and exceptions) into the buffer pointed to by envp.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.4.1
See Also
fesetenv

feholdexcept

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
int feholdexcept(fenv_t *envp);
Description
Copies the current floating-point environment (rounding mode, precision mode, and exceptions) into the buffer pointed to by envp, and resets the floating-point environment to the start-up state (round to nearest, no loss in precision, and no exceptions set).
Return Value
0 if successful, non-zero if not.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.4.2
See Also
feupdateenv

fesetenv

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
void fesetenv(const fenv_t *envp);
Description
Sets the current floating-point environment (rounding mode, precision mode, and exceptions) to the values stored in the buffer pointed to by envp.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.4.3
See Also
fegetenv

feupdateenv

Header
fenv.h
Prototype
void feupdateenv(const fenv_t * envp);
Description
Saves the current exceptions internally, sets the floating-point environment to the values stored in the buffer pointed to by envp, and then raises the saved exceptions.
Compatibility
C99 7.6.4.4
