unsigned int _status87(void); 

unsigned int _statusfp(void); 

Description 

Gets floating-point status. 

_status87 gets the floating-point status word, which is a combination of the 80x87 status word and other conditions detected by the 80x87 exception handler. 

_statusfp is identical to _status87 and is for Microsoft compatibility. 

Return Value 

The bits in the return value give the floating-point status. See float.h for a complete definition of the bits returned by _status87 and _status87.
