VMS Help CRTL, fp_class, Description *Conan The Librarian |
The fp_class functions determine the class of the specified IEEE
floating-point number, returning a constant from the <fp_class.h>
header file. They never cause an exception, even for signaling
NaNs (Not-a-Number). These functions implement the recommended
class(x) function in the appendix of the IEEE 754-1985 standard
for binary floating-point arithmetic. The constants in <fp_
class.h> refer to the following classes of values:
FP_SNAN Signaling NaN (Not-a-Number)
FP_QNAN Quiet NaN
FP_POS_INF +Infinity
FP_NEG_INF -Infinity
FP_POS_NORM positive normalized
FP_NEG_NORM negative normalized
FP_POS_DENORM positive denormalized
FP_NEG_DENORM negative denormalized
FP_POS_ZERO +0.0 (positive zero)
FP_NEG_ZERO -0.0 (negative zero)
