NAME

fegetenv() — get floating-point environment

SYNOPSIS

#include <fenv.h>

Itanium(R)-based System Only

int fegetenv(fenv_t *envp);

PA-RISC Only

void fegetenv(fenv_t *envp);

DESCRIPTION

The fegetenv() function stores the current floating-point environment in the object pointed to by the argument envp.

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>.

For Itanium-based systems, specify +Ofenvaccess on the compiler command line or place the call to this function under the effect of an affirmative FENV_ACCESS pragma:

#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON

If the FENV_ACCESS pragma is placed outside of any top-level declarations in a file, the pragma will apply to all declarations in the compilation following the pragma until another FENV_ACCESS pragma is encountered or until the end of the file is reached.

If the FENV_ACCESS pragma is placed at the beginning of a block (compound statement), the pragma will apply until another FENV_ACCESS pragma is encountered or until the end of the block is reached.

For PA-RISC, you might need to use the +Onomoveflops compiler option in order to prevent optimizations that can undermine the specified behavior of this function.

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

Itanium-based System Only

This function always returns 0, indicating that a representation of the current environment was successfully stored.

PA-RISC Only

None.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

Store the current floating-point environment:

#include <fenv.h> /*...*/ fenv_t env; /*...*/ fegetenv(&env);

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE

fegetenv() : ISO/IEC C99 (including Annex F, "IEC 60559 floating-point arithmetic")
