numeric_limits::has_denorm_loss

Tests whether loss of accuracy is detected as a denormalization loss rather than as an inexact result.

static const bool has_denorm_loss = false;

Return Value

true if the loss of accuracy is detected as a denormalization loss; false if not.

Remarks

The member stores true for a type that determines whether a value has lost accuracy because it is delivered as a denormalized result (too small to represent as a normalized value) or because it is inexact (not the same as a result not subject to limitations of exponent range and precision), an option with IEC 559 floating-point representations that can affect some results.

Example

// numeric_limits_has_denorm_loss.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

using namespace std;

int main( )
{
   cout << "Whether float objects can detect denormalized loss: "
        << numeric_limits<float>::has_denorm_loss
        << endl;
   cout << "Whether double objects can detect denormalized loss: "
        << numeric_limits<double>::has_denorm_loss
        << endl;
   cout << "Whether long int objects can detect denormalized loss: " 
        << numeric_limits<long int>::has_denorm_loss
        << endl;
}

Whether float objects can detect denormalized loss: 1
Whether double objects can detect denormalized loss: 1
Whether long int objects can detect denormalized loss: 0
