Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2003

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/feupdateenv.html


We are requesting clarification on the following: 

The description of feupdateenv() states "The feupdateenv() function shall 
attempt to save the currently raised floating-point exceptions in its automatic 
storage, attempt to install the floating-point environment represented by the 
object pointed to by envp, and then attempt to raise the saved floating-point 
exceptions. The argument envp shall point to an object set by a call to 
feholdexcept() or fegetenv(), or equal a floating-point environment macro."  


Regarding the statement "and then attempt to raise the saved floating-point 
exceptions."  what floating-point exceptions get raised?  
(1) Those that were originally saved away in the automatic storage 
or (2) those that are indicated by envp?   


Thank you.
