ieee_retrospective()

The libm function ieee_retrospective() prints to stderr information about unrequited exceptions and nonstandard IEEE modes. Pascal programs call ieee_retrospective() on exit by default.

SPARC Libraries

The libm and libsunmath libraries also contain:

•Argument reduction functions, using infinitely precise Pi and trigonometric functions scaled in Pi

•Data conversion routines for converting floating-point data between IEEE and non-IEEE formats

•Random number generators

There are two facilities for generating uniform pseudo-random numbers, addrans(3M) and lcrans(3M). addrans is an additive random number generator; lcrans is a linear congruential random number generator. In addition, shufrans(3M) shuffles a set of pseudo-random numbers to provide even more randomness for applications that need it.
