std::numeric_limits::traps(3) | C++ Standard Libary | std::numeric_limits::traps(3) |
NAME¶
std::numeric_limits::traps - std::numeric_limits::traps
Synopsis¶
static const bool traps; (until C++11)
static constexpr bool traps; (since C++11)
The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::traps is true for all arithmetic
types T that
have at least one value that, if used as an argument to an arithmetic
operation,
will generate a trap.
Standard specializations¶
T value of std::numeric_limits<T>::traps
/* non-specialized */ false
bool false
char usually true
signed char usually true
unsigned char usually true
wchar_t usually true
char8_t (C++20) usually true
char16_t (C++11) usually true
char32_t (C++11) usually true
short usually true
unsigned short usually true
int usually true
unsigned int usually true
long usually true
unsigned long usually true
long long (C++11) usually true
unsigned long long (C++11) usually true
float usually false
double usually false
long double usually false
Notes¶
On most platforms integer division by zero always traps, and
std::numeric_limits<T>::traps is true for all integer types that
support the value
0. The exception is the type bool: even though division by false traps due to
integral promotion from bool to int, it is the zero-valued int that traps.
Zero is
not a value of type bool.
On most platforms, floating-point exceptions may be turned on and off at run
time
(e.g. feenableexcept() on Linux or _controlfp on Windows), in which case the
value
of std::numeric_limits<T>::traps for floating-point types reflects the
state of
floating-point trapping facility at the time of program startup, which is
false on
most modern systems. An exception would be a DEC Alpha program, where it is
true if
compiled without -ieee.
