NAME

feupdateenv() — update floating-point environment

SYNOPSIS

#include <fenv.h>

void feupdateenv(const fenv_t *envp);

DESCRIPTION

The feupdateenv() function saves the current exceptions in its automatic storage, installs the floating-point environment represented through envp, and then raises the saved exceptions. The argument envp must point to an object set by a call to fegetenv() or feholdexcept(), or equal the macro FE_DFL_ENV.

The ISO/ANSI C committee has approved the feupdateenv() 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.

EXAMPLE

Store the current floating-point environment in holdenv, hide spurious underflow exceptions, and continue on any exceptions that occur until the call to feupdateenv() is encountered.

#include <fenv.h> /*...*/ fenv_t holdenv; feholdexcept(&holdenv); /* perform operations */ if (/* test for spurious underflow */) feclearexcept(FE_UNDERFLOW); feupdateenv(&holdenv); /* raise accumulated exceptions */
