This header was originally in the C standard library as <fenv.h>.

This header is part of the floating-point environment library.

Types

fenv_t (C++11)	the type representing the entire floating-point environment (typedef)
fexcept_t (C++11)	the type representing all floating-point status flags collectively (typedef)

Functions

feclearexcept (C++11)	clears the specified floating-point status flags (function)
fetestexcept (C++11)	determines which of the specified floating-point status flags are set (function)
feraiseexcept (C++11)	raises the specified floating-point exceptions (function)
fegetexceptflagfesetexceptflag (C++11)(C++11)	copies the state of the specified floating-point status flags from or to the floating-point environment (function)
fegetroundfesetround (C++11)(C++11)	gets or sets rounding direction (function)
fegetenvfesetenv (C++11)	saves or restores the current floating-point environment (function)
feholdexcept (C++11)	saves the environment, clears all status flags and ignores all future errors (function)
feupdateenv (C++11)	restores the floating-point environment and raises the previously raised exceptions (function)

Macros

FE_ALL_EXCEPTFE_DIVBYZEROFE_INEXACTFE_INVALIDFE_OVERFLOWFE_UNDERFLOW (C++11)	floating-point exceptions (macro constant)
FE_DOWNWARDFE_TONEARESTFE_TOWARDZEROFE_UPWARD (C++11)	floating-point rounding direction (macro constant)
FE_DFL_ENV (C++11)	default floating-point environment (macro constant)
