Subject: permit FE_DIVBYZERO when errno says EDOM

Summary

Regarding 7.12.1 para 2,

which says that if both errno and fp exceptions are used, and if a domain error occurs, then errno gets EDOM and the fp exception is FP_INVALID:
The purpose of this document is to initiate a formal potential defect report to request that FE_DIVBYZERO can also be acceptable here.
My previous emails contained a substantive typo which may have created unnecessary confusions.

Suggested Technical Corrigendum


Fall 2006

Committee Discussion (for history only)

At the fall meeting it was suggested that there need not be a change to 7.12.1. No consensus was reached, leave in open status.
