All these macro constants (except FE_ALL_EXCEPT) expand to integer constant expressions that are distinct powers of 2, which uniquely identify all supported floating-point exceptions. Each macro is defined only if it is supported.

The macro constant FE_ALL_EXCEPT, which expands to the bitwise OR of all other FE_*, is always defined and is zero if floating-point exceptions are not supported by the implementation.

Constant Explanation
FE_DIVBYZERO pole error occurred in an earlier floating-point operation
FE_INEXACT inexact result: rounding was necessary to store the result of an earlier floating-point operation
FE_INVALID domain error occurred in an earlier floating-point operation
FE_OVERFLOW the result of the earlier floating-point operation was too large to be representable
FE_UNDERFLOW the result of the earlier floating-point operation was subnormal with a loss of precision
FE_ALL_EXCEPT bitwise OR of all supported floating-point exceptions

The implementation may define additional macro constants in to identify additional floating-point exceptions. All such constants begin with FE_ followed by at least one uppercase letter.

See math_errhandling for further details.

[edit] Example

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
