feupdateenv

From cppreference.com
< clrm; | numericlrm; | fenv
Defined in header <fenv.h>
int feupdateenv( const fenv_t* envp );
(since C99)

First, remembers the currently raised floating-point exceptions, then restores the floating-point environment from the object pointed to by envp (similar to fesetenv), then raises the floating-point exceptions that were saved.

This function may be used to end the non-stop mode established by an earlier call to feholdexcept.

Parameters

envp - pointer to the object of type fenv_t set by an earlier call to feholdexcept or fegetenv or equal to FE_DFL_ENV

Return value

0 on success, non-zero otherwise.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <float.h>

#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON

void show_fe_exceptions(void)
{
    printf("current exceptions raised: ");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO))     printf(" FE_DIVBYZERO");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_INEXACT))       printf(" FE_INEXACT");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_INVALID))       printf(" FE_INVALID");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_OVERFLOW))      printf(" FE_OVERFLOW");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_UNDERFLOW))     printf(" FE_UNDERFLOW");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)==0) printf(" none");
    printf("\n");
}

double x2 (double x)   /* times two */
{
    fenv_t curr_excepts;

    /* Save and clear current f-p environment. */
    feholdexcept(&curr_excepts);

    /* Raise inexact and overflow exceptions. */
    printf("In x2():  x =%f\n", x=x*2.0);
    show_fe_exceptions();
    feclearexcept(FE_INEXACT);   /* hide inexact exception from caller */

    /* Merge caller's exceptions (FE_INVALID)        */
    /* with remaining x2's exceptions (FE_OVERFLOW). */
    feupdateenv(&curr_excepts);
    return x;
}

int main(void)
{    
    feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    feraiseexcept(FE_INVALID);   /* some computation with invalid argument */
    show_fe_exceptions();
    printf("x2(DBL_MAX) =%f\n", x2(DBL_MAX));
    show_fe_exceptions();

    return 0;
}

Output:

current exceptions raised:  FE_INVALID
In x2():  x = inf
current exceptions raised:  FE_INEXACT FE_OVERFLOW
x2(DBL_MAX) = inf
current exceptions raised:  FE_INVALID FE_OVERFLOW
