Parameters
IEEE_ALL, IEEE_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO, IEEE_INEXACT, IEEE_INVALID, IEEE_OVERFLOW, IEEE_UNDERFLOW, IEEE_USUAL.
Procedures
IEEE_GET_FLAG, IEEE_GET_HALTING_MODE, IEEE_GET_STATUS, IEEE_SET_FLAG, IEEE_SET_HALTING_MODE, IEEE_SET_STATUS, IEEE_SUPPORT_FLAG, IEEE_SUPPORT_HALTING.

Derived-Type Description

  TYPE IEEE_FLAG_TYPE
    PRIVATE
    ...
  END TYPE
This type is provided for the purpose of specifying IEEE exception flags; a value of this type indicates each particular flag. 

  TYPE IEEE_STATUS_TYPE
    PRIVATE
    ...
  END TYPE
This type is provided to allow the user to save (and restore) the current floating-point status. The floating-point status includes the state (quiet or signalling) of each IEEE exception flag, and the current rounding mode.

Parameter Description

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),PARAMETER :: IEEE_ALL = &
      (/ IEEE_USUAL,IEEE_UNDERFLOW,IEEE_INEXACT /)
Array specifying all IEEE exception flags. 

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),PARAMETER :: IEEE_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO
Specifies the division-by-zero exception flag. 

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),PARAMETER :: IEEE_INEXACT
Specifies the inexact exception flag. 

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),PARAMETER :: IEEE_INVALID
Specifies the invalid exception flag. 

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),PARAMETER :: IEEE_OVERFLOW
Specifies the overflow exception flag. 

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),PARAMETER :: IEEE_UNDERFLOW
Specifies the underflow exception flag. 

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),PARAMETER :: IEEE_USUAL = &
      (/ IEEE_OVERFLOW,IEEE_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO,IEEE_INVALID /)
Array specifying the most commonly desired subset of exception flags.

Procedure Description

  ELEMENTAL SUBROUTINE IEEE_GET_FLAG(FLAG,FLAG_VALUE)

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),INTENT(IN) :: FLAG
  LOGICAL,INTENT(OUT) :: FLAG_VALUE
Sets FLAG_VALUE to .TRUE. if the specified IEEE exception flag is signalling, and to .FALSE. otherwise. 

  ELEMENTAL SUBROUTINE IEEE_GET_HALTING_MODE(FLAG,HALTING_MODE)

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),INTENT(IN) :: FLAG
  LOGICAL,INTENT(OUT) :: HALTING_MODE
Sets HALTING_MODE to .TRUE. if an occurrence of the specified exception will cause program termination, and to .FALSE. otherwise. 

  SUBROUTINE IEEE_GET_STATUS(STATUS_VALUE)

  TYPE(IEEE_STATUS_TYPE),INTENT(OUT) :: STATUS_VALUE
Stores the current floating-point status in STATUS_VALUE. 

  ELEMENTAL SUBROUTINE IEEE_SET_FLAG(FLAG,FLAG_VALUE)

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),INTENT(IN) :: FLAG
  LOGICAL,INTENT(IN) :: INTENT(IN) :: FLAG_VALUE
Sets the specified exception flag to signalling if FLAG_VALUE is .TRUE., and to quiet otherwise. 

  ELEMENTAL SUBROUTINE IEEE_SET_HALTING_MODE(FLAG,HALTING_MODE)

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),INTENT(IN) :: FLAG
  LOGICAL,INTENT(IN) :: HALTING_MODE
Sets the halting mode for exception FLAG to true if HALTING_MODE is .TRUE., and to false otherwise. If the halting mode for an exception is true, an occurrence of that exception will cause program termination. 

  SUBROUTINE IEEE_SET_STATUS(STATUS_VALUE)

  TYPE(IEEE_STATUS_TYPE),INTENT(IN) :: STATUS_VALUE
Restores the current floating-point status to that saved by a preceding invocation of IEEE_GET_STATUS. 

  LOGICAL FUNCTION IEEE_SUPPORT_FLAG(FLAG,X)

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),INTENT(IN) :: FLAG
  REAL(any kind),OPTIONAL :: X
Returns .TRUE. if detection of the specified exception is supported; either for all real kinds (if X is absent), or for reals of the same kind as X. 

  LOGICAL FUNCTION IEEE_SUPPORT_HALTING(FLAG)

  TYPE(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE),INTENT(IN) :: FLAG
Returns .TRUE. if IEEE_SET_HALTING can be used to alter the halting mode of the specified exception, for all real kinds for which IEEE_SUPPORT_FLAG returns .TRUE..
