Each of the macro constants defined in <cfenv> that begin with FE_ followed by at least one uppercase letter (except FE_ALL_EXCEPT), expand to integer constant expressions that are distinct powers of 2, which uniquely identify all supported floating-point exceptions. Each macro is only defined if it is supported.

The macro constant FE_ALL_EXCEPT, which expands to the bitwise OR of all other FE_*, is always defined and is zero if floating-point exceptions are not supported by the implementation.


Constant	Explanation

`FE_DIVBYZERO`	division by zero occurred during the earlier floating-point operation

`FE_INEXACT`	inexact result: rounding was necessary to store the result of the earlier floating-point operation

`FE_INVALID`	invalid operation: the earlier floating-point operation could not performed

`FE_OVERFLOW`	the result of the earlier floating-point operation was too large to be representable

`FE_UNDERFLOW`	the result of the earlier floating-point operation was subnormal

`FE_ALL_EXCEPT`	bitwise OR of all supported floating-point exceptions

Additional exception types may be supported by an implementation.

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <cfenv>
#include <cmath>
 
#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
 
volatile double zero = 0.0; // volatile not needed where FENV_ACCESS is supported
volatile double one = 1.0;  // volatile not needed where FENV_ACCESS is supported
 
int main()
{
    std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    std::cout <<  "1.0/0.0 = " << 1.0 / zero << '\n';
    if(std::fetestexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO)) {
        std::cout << "division by zero reported\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "divsion by zero not reported\n";
    }
 
    std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    std::cout << "1.0/10 = " << one/10 << '\n';
    if(std::fetestexcept(FE_INEXACT)) {
        std::cout << "inexact result reported\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "inexact result not reported\n";
    }
 
    std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    std::cout << "sqrt(-1) = " << std::sqrt(-1) << '\n';
    if(std::fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) {
        std::cout << "invalid result reported\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "invalid result not reported\n";
    }
}

Output:

1.0/0.0 = inf
division by zero reported
1.0/10 = 0.1
inexact result reported
sqrt(-1) = -nan
invalid result reported
