_fpreset

Resets the floating-point package.

void _fpreset( void );

For additional compatibility information, see Compatibility in the Introduction.

Libraries

Return Value

None

Remarks

The _fpreset function reinitializes the floating-point math package. _fpreset is usually used with signal, system, or the _exec or _spawn functions. If a program traps floating-point error signals (SIGFPE) with signal, it can safely recover from floating-point errors by invoking _fpreset and using longjmp.

Example

/* FPRESET.C: This program uses signal to set up a
 * routine for handling floating-point errors.
