Expose floating point environment and handle fp exceptions #1379

Closed

Description

@boggle

libmath provides a rich interface to deal with numerical exceptions, rounding modes, and the like.

We need to figure, if and how much of it we want to (e.g. as a resource that clears on destruction)

Useful references and any comments on this very welcome

Additionally:

  • decide if and when to fail in the presence of unhandled floating point exceptions
  • verify sane concurrency behavior
  • beyond complex numbers that is the last part of libmath that needs wrapping
