FETESTEXCEPT(3)            POSIX Programmer's Manual           FETESTEXCEPT(3)



PROLOG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

NAME
       fetestexcept -- test floating-point exception flags

SYNOPSIS
       #include <fenv.h>

       int fetestexcept(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 fetestexcept() function shall determine which of a specified subset
       of the floating-point exception flags are currently set. The excepts
       argument specifies the floating-point status flags to be queried.

RETURN VALUE
       The fetestexcept() function shall return the value of the bitwise-
       inclusive OR of the floating-point exception macros corresponding to
       the currently set floating-point exceptions included in excepts.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       The following example calls function _f() if an invalid exception is
       set, and then function _g() if an overflow exception is set:


           #include <fenv.h>
           /* ... */
           {
               #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
               int set_excepts;
               feclearexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
               // maybe raise exceptions
               set_excepts = fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
               if (set_excepts & FE_INVALID) f();
               if (set_excepts & FE_OVERFLOW) g();
               /* ... */
           }

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
