Question 19.39

How can I handle floating-point exceptions gracefully?


On many systems, you can define a routine matherr which will be called when there are certain floating-point errors, such as errors in the math routines in <math.h>. You may also be able to use signal (see question 19.38) to catch SIGFPE. See also question 14.9.
