TestFpException

Returns true if a floating-point exception flag has been raised since it was cleared.

Syntax

TestFpException( e )

Examples

#import "std/numeric"
using numeric

'' The flags are STICKY: once raised they stay raised until cleared, so
'' a test after a long computation says "this happened at some point",
'' not "this just happened"
ClearFpExceptions( )
print TestFpException( FP_OVERFLOW )      '' false

dim as float64 big = 1e308
dim as float64 r = big * 10
print TestFpException( FP_OVERFLOW )      '' true
