49 The floating-point environment includes exception flags and masks, the
50 current rounding mode, and other architecture-specific settings.
51 However, it does not include the floating-point register file.
55 function stores the current floating-point environment in the object
60 saves the current environment, then clears all exception flags
61 and masks all floating-point exceptions.
65 function restores a previously saved environment.
68 function restores a saved environment as well, but it also
69 raises any exceptions that were set in the environment it
74 function is often used with
78 to suppress spurious exceptions that occur as a result of
79 intermediate computations.
82 demonstrates how to do this.
90 functions return 0 if they succeed, and non-zero otherwise.
