NAME

feraiseexcept() — raise floating-point exceptions

SYNOPSIS

#include <fenv.h>

void feraiseexcept(int excepts);

DESCRIPTION

The feraiseexcept() function raises the exceptions 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.

Any traps enabled for the specified exceptions will be taken.

The ISO/ANSI C committee has approved the feraiseexcept() 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

Raise the underflow and inexact exceptions:

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

Raise all exceptions:

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