feholdexcept

From cppreference.com
< c | numeric | fenv
Defined in header <<fenv.h>>
int feholdexcept( fenv_t* envp );
(since C99)

First, saves the current floating-point environment to the object pointed to by envp (similar to fegetenv), then clears all floating-point status flags, and then installs the non-stop mode: future floating-point exceptions will not interrupt execution (will not trap), until the floating-point environment is restored by feupdateenv or fesetenv.

This function may be used in the beginning of a subroutine that must hide the floating-point exceptions it may raise from the caller. If only some exceptions must be suppressed, while others must be reported, the non-stop mode is usually ended with a call to feupdateenv after clearing the unwanted exceptions.
