NAME
fex_merge_flags - manage the floating point environment SYNOPSIS
c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <fenv.h> void fex_merge_flags(const fenv_t *envp); DESCRIPTION
The fex_merge_flags() function copies into the current environment those exception flags that are set in the environment represented by the object pointed to by envp. The argument envp must point to an object set by a call to feholdexcept(3M) or fegetenv(3M) or equal to the macro FE_DFL_ENV. The fex_merge_flags() function does not raise any exceptions, but only sets its flags. RETURN VALUES
The fex_merge_flags function does not return a value. ATTRIBUTES

In a multithreaded program, the fex_merge_flags() function affects the floating point environment only for the calling thread. The fex_merge_flags() function automatically installs and deinstalls SIGFPE handlers and sets and clears the trap enable mode bits in the floating point status register as needed. If a program uses these functions and attempts to install a SIGFPE handler or control the trap enable mode bits independently, the resulting behavior is not defined.

NAME
feupdateenv - update floating-point environment SYNOPSIS
c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <fenv.h> int feupdateenv(const fenv_t *envp); DESCRIPTION
The feupdateenv() function attempts to save the currently raised floating-point exceptions in its automatic storage, attempts to install the floating-point environment represented by the object pointed to by envp, and then attempts to raise the saved floating-point excep- tions. The envp argument points to an object set by a call to fegetenv(3M) or feholdexcept(3M), or equals a floating-point environment macro. RETURN VALUES
The feupdateenv() function returns 0 if and only if all the required actions were successfully carried out. ERRORS
No errors are defined. EXAMPLES
The following example demonstrates sample code to hide spurious underflow floating-point exceptions: Example 1 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; } ATTRIBUTES

In a multithreaded program, the feupdateenv() function affects the floating point environment only for the calling thread. When the FEX_CUSTOM handling mode is in effect for an exception, raising that exception using feupdateenv() causes the handling function to be invoked. The handling function can then modify the exception flags to be set as described in fex_set_handling(3M). Any result value the handler supplies will be ignored. The feupdateenv() function automatically installs and deinstalls SIGFPE handlers and sets and clears the trap enable mode bits in the floating point status register as needed. If a program uses these functions and attempts to install a SIGFPE handler or control the trap enable mode bits independently, the resulting behavior is not defined. As described in fex_set_handling(3M), when a handling function installed in FEX_CUSTOM mode is invoked, all exception traps are disabled (and will not be reenabled while SIGFPE is blocked). Thus, attempting to change the environment from within a handler by calling fes- etenv(3M) or feupdateenv might not produce the expected results. SunOS 5.11 12 Jul 2006 feupdateenv(3M)
