FE_DFL_ENV (C++11)

 

Defined in header <cfenv>
#define FE_DFL_ENV /*implementation defined*/		(since C++11)

The macro constant FE_DFL_ENV expands to an expression of type const std::fenv_t*, which points to a full copy of the default floating-point environment, that is, the environment as loaded at program startup.

Additional macros that begin with FE_ followed by uppercase letters, and have the type const std::fenv_t*, may be supported by an implementation.

Example

Run this code

#include <cfenv>
#include <iostream>
/ #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
 
void show_env()
{
    const int e = std::fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    if (e & FE_DIVBYZERO)
        std::cout << "division by zero is raised\n";
    if (e & FE_INEXACT)
        std::cout << "inexact is raised\n";
    if (e & FE_INVALID)
        std::cout << "invalid is raised\n";
    if (e & FE_UNDERFLOW)
        std::cout << "underflow is raised\n";
    if (e & FE_OVERFLOW)
        std::cout << "overflow is raised\n";
 
    switch (std::fegetround()
    {  
        case FE_DOWNWARD:
            std::cout << "rounding down\n";
            break;
        case FE_TONEAREST:
            std::cout << "rounding to nearest\n";
            break;
        case FE_TOWARDZERO:
            std::cout << "rounding to zero\n";
            break;
        case FE_UPWARD:
            std::cout << "rounding up\n";
            break;
    }
}
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << "On startup:\n";
    show_env();
 
    std::feraiseexcept(FE_UNDERFLOW | FE_OVERFLOW);
    std::fesetround(FE_UPWARD);
 
    std::cout << "\nBefore restoration:\n";
    show_env();
 
    std::fesetenv(FE_DFL_ENV);
 
    std::cout << "\nAfter reset to default:\n";
    show_env();
}

Output:

On startup: 
rounding to nearest
 
Before restoration: 
underflow is raised
overflow is raised
rounding up
 
After reset to default: 
rounding to nearest
