_fpreset
Resets the floating-point package.
void _fpreset( void );
Remarks
The _fpreset function reinitializes the floating-point math package. _fpreset is usually used with signal, system, or the _exec or _spawn functions. If a program traps floating-point error signals (SIGFPE) with signal, it can safely recover from floating-point errors by invoking _fpreset and using longjmp.
This function is deprecated when compiling with /clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation) or /clr:pure because the common language runtime only supports the default floating-point precision.
