Module fenv

Floating-point environment. Handling of floating-point rounding and exceptions (overflow, division by zero, etc.).

Types

Tfenv = object
Represents the entire floating-point environment. The floating-point environment refers collectively to any floating-point status flags and control modes supported by the implementation.
Tfexcept = object
Represents the floating-point status flags collectively, including any status the implementation associates with the flags. A floating-point status flag is a system variable whose value is set (but never cleared) when a floating-point exception is raised, which occurs as a side effect of exceptional floating-point arithmetic to provide auxiliary information. A floating-point control mode is a system variable whose value may be set by the user to affect the subsequent behavior of floating-point arithmetic.

Vars

FE_DIVBYZERO: cint
division by zero
FE_INEXACT: cint
inexact result
FE_INVALID: cint
invalid operation
FE_OVERFLOW: cint
result not representable due to overflow
FE_UNDERFLOW: cint
result not representable due to underflow
FE_ALL_EXCEPT: cint
bitwise OR of all supported exceptions
FE_DOWNWARD: cint
round toward -Inf
FE_TONEAREST: cint
round to nearest
FE_TOWARDZERO: cint
round toward 0
FE_UPWARD: cint
round toward +Inf
FE_DFL_ENV: cint
macro of type pointer to fenv_t to be used as the argument to functions taking an argument of type fenv_t; in this case the default environment will be used

Procs

proc feclearexcept(excepts: cint): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Clear the supported exceptions represented by excepts.
proc fegetexceptflag(flagp: ptr Tfexcept; excepts: cint): cint {.importc,
    header: "<fenv.h>".}
Store implementation-defined representation of the exception flags indicated by excepts in the object pointed to by flagp.
proc feraiseexcept(excepts: cint): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Raise the supported exceptions represented by excepts.
proc fesetexceptflag(flagp: ptr Tfexcept; excepts: cint): cint {.importc,
    header: "<fenv.h>".}
Set complete status for exceptions indicated by excepts according to the representation in the object pointed to by flagp.
proc fetestexcept(excepts: cint): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Determine which of subset of the exceptions specified by excepts are currently set.
proc fegetround(): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Get current rounding direction.
proc fesetround(roundingDirection: cint): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Establish the rounding direction represented by roundingDirection.
proc fegetenv(envp: ptr Tfenv): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Store the current floating-point environment in the object pointed to by envp.
proc feholdexcept(envp: ptr Tfenv): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Save the current environment in the object pointed to by envp, clear exception flags and install a non-stop mode (if available) for all exceptions.
proc fesetenv(a1: ptr Tfenv): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Establish the floating-point environment represented by the object pointed to by envp.
proc feupdateenv(envp: ptr Tfenv): cint {.importc, header: "<fenv.h>".}
Save current exceptions in temporary storage, install environment represented by object pointed to by envp and raise exceptions according to saved exceptions.
