Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagx07.h>
void  nag_set_ieee_exception_mode (const Integer exceptionmode[])

3
Description

nag_set_ieee_exception_mode (x07cbc) sets the current IEEE exception halting mode for the three common exceptions: overflow, divide-by-zero and invalid operation.

5
Arguments

1:     exceptionmode[3] const IntegerInput
On entry: each of the three elements of exceptionmode must contain any nonzero value if the corresponding condition should raise an exception, and contain 0 otherwise. exceptionmode[0] concerns floating-point overflow, exceptionmode[1] concerns floating-point division by zero, and exceptionmode[2] concerns floating-point invalid operation.

Error Indicators and Warnings

None.

Accuracy

Not applicable.

8
Parallelism and Performance

nag_set_ieee_exception_mode (x07cbc) is not threaded in any implementation.
