Overview:

Because the scientific and engineering numeric floating-point calculation approximates real arithmetic, the precision of this format can create situations wherein the floating-point operations results are not acceptable in some domains. A programming error can create some pretty sticky exceptional situations, but this is also a byproduct of the nature of the domain itself. Developers can find a numerous discussions on different software implementation techniques for dealing with arithmetic floating-point exceptions. Some solutions are slower, others are faster. Some of them prevent occurrences of exceptions, other respond to exceptions. This paper explains how to take advantage of what is available in Microsoft's implementation of C\C++ in VS2003 and VS2005 for the latest x86-based platform that supports IEEE Standard 754 for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic.
