NAME

       fetestexcept - test floating-point exception flags

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fenv.h>

       int fetestexcept(int excepts);

DESCRIPTION

       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();
                  /* ... */
              }
