These routines determine the class of IEEE floating-point values. They return one of the constants in the file <fp_class.h> and never cause an exception, even for signaling NaNs. These routines implement the recommended function class(x) in the appendix of the IEEE Std 754. The constants in <fp_class.h> refer to the following classes of values: Constant Class FP_SNAN Signaling NaN (Not-a-Number) FP_QNAN Quiet NaN (Not-a-Number) FP_POS_INF +Infinity FP_NEG_INF -Infinity FP_POS_NORM Positive normalized FP_NEG_NORM Negative normalized FP_POS_DENORM Positive denormalized FP_NEG_DENORM Negative denormalized FP_POS_ZERO +0.0 (positive zero) FP_NEG_ZERO -0.0 (negative zero) Entry-Point Names Generic Compaq Function Data Type Tru64 UNIX Name Required OpenVMS Alpha Alpha fp_class S_FLOAT math$fp_class_s fp_classf T_FLOAT math$fp_class_t fp_class X_FLOAT math$fp_class_x fp_classl F_FLOAT math$fp_class_f G_FLOAT math$fp_class_g
