That function does very little, except to map the exception "why" into either ERANGE or EDOMAIN in errno. Its main purpose is to act as a focal point for changes in error handling. For example, if you were writing a spreadsheet you might replace this function with one which pops up an error window explaining something like: "logl (-2.0) caused domain error, in cell J7" and then longjmp() to a reset state in the spreadsheet and await the next command from the user. The default version of Turbo C's _matherrl routine masks underflow and precision errors; others errors are considered fatal. It serves as a hook that you can replace when writing your own math error handling routine. The rationale for masking underflow and precision errors is that these are not errors according to the ANSI C spec. Consequently, you will get expl(-1000) = 0 sinl(1e100) = NAN without any error or warning, even though there is a total loss of precision in both cases. You can trap these errors by modifying _matherrl. The possible errors are DOMAIN, SING, OVERFLOW, UNDERFLOW, TLOSS, PLOSS and listed in . As explained above, UNDERFLOW and TLOSS are masked by the default _matherrl. PLOSS is not supported by TC and is not generated by any library functions. The remaining errors, DOMAIN, SING, and OVERFLOW, are fatal with the default _matherrl. You can modify _matherrl to be a custom error handling routine (such as one that catches and resolves certain type of errors); the modified _matherrl should return 0 if it failed to resolve the error, or non-zero if the error was resolved. When _matherrl returns non-zero, no error message is printed, and errno is not changed. The important thing is that we don't know what error handling you want, but you are assured that all errors will arrive at _matherrl() with all the information you need to design a custom format. Return value The default return value for _matherrl is simply 0. _matherrl can also modify e->retval, which propagates through __matherrl back to the original caller. When _matherrl returns 0, (indicating that it was not able to resolve the error) __matherrl sets errno and prints an error message. When _matherrl returns non-zero, (indicating that it was able to resolve the error) errno is not set and no messages are printed. *-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ int _RTLENTRY _matherrl (struct _exceptionl *e) { char errMsg[ 80 ]; sprintf (errMsg, "%s (%8Lg,%8Lg): %s\n", e->name, e->arg1, e->arg2, whyS [e->type - 1]); _ErrorExit(errMsg); } #else /* !
