Converting floating point exceptions into C++ exceptions

Question

Is it possible to convert floating point exceptions (signals) into C++ exceptions on x86 Linux?

This is for debugging purposes, so nonportability and imperfection is oka

Answer 1

I don't have a ready made solution, but one thing you could look at are signals (not sure whether you can safely throw C++ exceptions from them, but it should help for debugging anyway.)

You could install a signal handler for SIGFPE, and use that for your debugging purposes.
