NAME

feclearexcept() — clear floating-point exception flags

SYNOPSIS

#include <fenv.h>

void feclearexcept(int excepts);

DESCRIPTION

The feclearexcept() function clears the exception flags represented by its argument. The argument can be constructed as a bitwise OR of the exception macros: FE_INEXACT, FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_UNDERFLOW, FE_OVERFLOW, and FE_INVALID. FE_ALL_EXCEPT represents all the exceptions.

The ISO/ANSI C committee has approved the feclearexcept() function for inclusion in the C9X draft standard.

To use this function, compile either with the default -Ae option or with the -Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE options. Make sure your program includes <fenv.h>. Link in the math library by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.

For more information, see the HP-UX Floating-Point Guide.

RETURN VALUE

None.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

Clear the underflow and inexact exception flags:

#include <fenv.h> /*...*/ feclearexcept(FE_UNDERFLOW | FE_INEXACT);

Clear all exception flags:

#include <fenv.h> /*...*/ feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
