The fpu exception mask is always global for an entire program. It is not possible to disable it only for the code in one single library. > Is masking such exceptions a common practice in C? It's not C programmers that do it. It's the C library that does it in its startup code, or maybe even the operating system when creating a new process. But as a result, indeed almost no single C program takes invalid floating point operations into account (which is bad practice, because e.g. floating point operations involving NaNs can be extremely slow). > Will it > be politically correct to ask the developer to fix the prob- > lem? You can try, but he probably won't care.
