Functions for saving and restoring the whole floating-point environment

Functions for saving and restoring the whole floating-point environment

Note

The following functionality requires you to select a floating-point model that supports exceptions, such as --fpmode=ieee_full or --fpmode=ieee_fixed.

C99 provides the following functions to save and restore the entire floating-point environment:

void fegetenv(fenv_t *envp); void fesetenv(const fenv_t *envp);

The fegetenv() function stores the current state of the floating-point environment into the fenv_t variable provided. The fesetenv() function restores the environment from the variable provided.

Like fesetexceptflag(), fesetenv() does not call trap handlers when it sets the sticky flags for trapped exceptions.
