feraiseexcept

Header: <fenv.h>

Attempts to raise all floating-point exceptions listed in excepts (a bitwise OR of the floating-point exception macros). If one of the exceptions is FE_OVERFLOW or FE_UNDERFLOW, this function may additionally raise FE_INEXACT. The order in which the exceptions are raised is unspecified, except that FE_OVERFLOW and FE_UNDERFLOW are always raised before FE_INEXACT.

# Declarations

int feraiseexcept( int excepts );

(since C99)

# Parameters

# Return value

0 if all listed exceptions were raised, non-zero value otherwise.

# Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fenv.h>
 
#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON

    if(fetestexcept(FE_INVALID))       printf(" FE_INVALID");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_OVERFLOW))      printf(" FE_OVERFLOW");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_UNDERFLOW))     printf(" FE_UNDERFLOW");
