std::fetestexcept(3)

NAME
std::fetestexcept - std::fetestexcept

Synopsis
   Defined in header <cfenv>
   int fetestexcept( int excepts ); (since C++11)
   Determines which of the specified subset of the floating point exceptions are
   currently set. The argument excepts is a bitwise OR of the floating point exception
   macros.

Parameters
   excepts - bitmask listing the exception flags to test

Return value
   Bitwise OR of the floating-point exception macros that are both included in excepts
   and correspond to floating-point exceptions currently set.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <cfenv>
 #include <cmath>
 #include <iostream>
 // #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 << "division 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";
 }

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