FEUPDATEENV(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual FEUPDATEENV(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
feupdateenv -- update floating-point environment
SYNOPSIS
#include <fenv.h>
int feupdateenv(const fenv_t *envp);
DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
The feupdateenv() function shall attempt to save the currently raised floating-point exceptions in its automatic storage, attempt to
install the floating-point environment represented by the object pointed to by envp, and then attempt to raise the saved floating-point
exceptions. The argument envp shall point to an object set by a call to feholdexcept() or fegetenv(), or equal a floating-point environment
macro.
RETURN VALUE
The feupdateenv() function shall return a zero value if and only if all the required actions were successfully carried out.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows sample code to hide spurious underflow floating-point exceptions:
#include <fenv.h>
double f(double x)
{
#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
double result;
fenv_t save_env;
feholdexcept(&save_env);
// compute result
if (/* test spurious underflow */)
feclearexcept(FE_UNDERFLOW);
feupdateenv(&save_env);
return result;
}
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
