IEEE_SET_UNDERFLOW_MODE

 

Intrinsic Module Subroutine (Generic): Sets the current underflow mode.

Module

USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_ARITHMETIC

Syntax

CALL IEEE_SET_UNDERFLOW_MODE (gradual)

gradual

(Input) Must be scalar and of type default logical. If it is true, the current underflow mode is set to gradual underflow (denormals may be produced on underflow). If it is false, the current underflow mode is set to abrupt (underflowed results are set to zero).

Example

Consider the following:

USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_EXCEPTIONS

LOGICAL :: SG

...

CALL IEEE_GET_UNDERFLOW_MODE (SG) ! Stores underflow mode

CALL IEEE_SET_UNDERFLOW_MODE (.FALSE.) ! Resets underflow mode

...                                    ! Abrupt underflows happens here

CALL IEEE_SET_UNDERFLOW_MODE (SG) ! Restores previous undeflow mode
