FEHOLDEXCEPT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual FEHOLDEXCEPT(3P)
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
feholdexcept -- save current floating-point environment
SYNOPSIS
#include <fenv.h>
int feholdexcept(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.1-2008
defers to the ISO C standard.
The feholdexcept() function shall save the current floating-point envi-
ronment in the object pointed to by envp, clear the floating-point sta-
tus flags, and then install a non-stop (continue on floating-point
exceptions) mode, if available, for all floating-point exceptions.
RETURN VALUE
The feholdexcept() function shall return zero if and only if non-stop
floating-point exception handling was successfully installed.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
The feholdexcept() function should be effective on typical
IEC 60559:1989 standard implementations which have the default non-stop
mode and at least one other mode for trap handling or aborting. If the
implementation provides only the non-stop mode, then installing the
non-stop mode is trivial.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
