fetestexcept

Header: <fenv.h>

Determines which of the specified subset of the floating-point exceptions are currently set. The argument excepts is a bitwise OR of the floating-point exception macros.

# Declarations

int fetestexcept( int excepts );

(since C99)

# Parameters

# Return value

Bitwise OR of the floating-point exception macros that are both included in excepts and correspond to floating-point exceptions currently set.

# Example

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