PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       feholdexcept — save current floating-point environment

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <fenv.h>

       int feholdexcept(fenv_t *envp);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The feholdexcept() function shall save the current floating-point
       environment in the object pointed to by envp, clear the floating-
       point status flags, and then install a non-stop (continue on
       floating-point exceptions) mode, if available, for all floating-
       point exceptions.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The feholdexcept() function shall return zero if and only if non-
       stop floating-point exception handling was successfully
       installed.

ERRORS         top

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       None.

RATIONALE         top

       The feholdexcept() function should be effective on typical
       IEC 60559:1989 standard implementations which have the default
       non-stop mode and at least one other mode for trap handling or
       aborting. If the implementation provides only the non-stop mode,
       then installing the non-stop mode is trivial.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
