std::fetestexcept

Defined in header <cfenv> 
int fetestexcept( int excepts );
 (since C++11)

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.

Parameters

excepts - bitmask listing the exception flags to test

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 <iostream>
#include <cfenv>
#include <cmath>
 
#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
 
volatile double zero = 0.0; // volatile not needed where FENV_ACCESS is supported
volatile double one = 1.0;  // volatile not needed where FENV_ACCESS is supported
 
int main()
{
    std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    std::cout <<  "1.0/0.0 = " << 1.0 / zero << '\n';
    if(std::fetestexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO)) {
        std::cout << "division by zero reported\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "divsion by zero not reported\n";
    }
 
    std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    std::cout << "1.0/10 = " << one/10 << '\n';
    if(std::fetestexcept(FE_INEXACT)) {
        std::cout << "inexact result reported\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "inexact result not reported\n";
    }
 
    std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    std::cout << "sqrt(-1) = " << std::sqrt(-1) << '\n';
    if(std::fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) {
        std::cout << "invalid result reported\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "invalid result not reported\n";
    }
}

Output:

1.0/0.0 = inf
division by zero reported
1.0/10 = 0.1
inexact result reported
sqrt(-1) = -nan
invalid result reported
