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