.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
|
As of glibc 2.1 this function does not exist anymore.
|
2006-08-03 13:57:30 +00:00
|
|
|
There are new functions from C99, with prototypes in
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.IR /usr/include/fenv.h ,
|
|
|
|
|
to control fpu rounding modes, like
|
|
|
|
|
.IR fegetround ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR fesetround ,
|
|
|
|
|
and the floating point environment, like
|
|
|
|
|
.IR fegetenv ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR feholdexcept ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR fesetenv ,
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
.IR feupdateenv
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
and fpu exception handling, like
|
|
|
|
|
.IR feclearexcept ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR fegetexceptflag ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR feraiseexcept ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR fesetexceptflag ,

If direct access to the FPU control word is still needed, the _FPU_GETCW
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
and _FPU_SETCW macros from
|
|
|
|
|
.I /usr/include/fpu_control.h
|
|
|
|
|
can be used.
