Subject: Floating point exceptions (Was Re: [Caml-list] Weird behavior with  nan's and min/max)
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2003 11:14:03 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <35208.141.155.88.179.1066403643.squirrel@minsky-primus.homeip.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1066402553.4570.65.camel@pelican>

Here's another question:  is it possible to catch floating point
exceptions such as division by zero?  It seems like that might be another
way of dealing with this.  I thought catching SIGFPE would do it, but I
tried and I couldn't seem to get it triggered.  Is it possible to convert
floating point exceptions to ocaml exceptions?
