I have a language implementation for FreeBSD ( http://www.mumps.org/ )
that I'm trying to port to the alpha and have a floating point problem.

I need to trap floating point arithmetic errors.  On x86, I used the
in-line functions and definitions in the file /usr/include/floatingpoint.h.
This doesn't exist on the alpha. Does anyone have any hints as to a platform
independant method of checking for floating point errors?
