PRODUCT : TURBO C NUMBER : 399
VERSION : 1.0
OS : PC-DOS
DATE : January 6, 1988 PAGE : 1/2
TITLE : CONTROL87
The following function was not documented in the Turbo C 1.0
manuals:
_control87 - manipulates floating-point control word
Usage unsigned int _control87(unsigned int newvals,
unsigned int mask);
Prototype in float.h
Description This function is used to retrieve or change the
floating-point control word.
The floating-point control word is an unsigned int that, bit by
bit, specifies certain modes in the floating-point package;
namely, the precision, infinity and rounding modes. Changing
these modes allows you to mask or unmask floating-point
exceptions.
_control87 matches the bits in mask to the bits in newvals. If a
mask bit = 1, the corresponding bit in newvals contains the new
value for the same bit in the floating-point control word, and
_control87 sets that bit in the control word to the new value.
Here's a simple illustration of how this works:
Original control word: 0100 0011 0110 0011
mask 1000 0001 0100 1111
newvals 1110 1001 0000 0101
Changing bits 1--- ---1 -0-- 0101
If mask = 0, _control87 returns the floating-point control word
without altering it.
Return value The bits in the value returned reflect the new
floating-point control word. For a complete
definition of the bits returned by _control87,
see float.h.
