Name

pfm_inhibit − inhibit asynchronous faults

Syntax

#include <idl/c/base.h>
#include <idl/c/pfm.h>
 void pfm_$inhibit()

Description

The pfm_$inhibit routine prevents asynchronous faults from being passed to the calling process. While faults are inhibited, the operating system holds at most one asynchronous fault. Consequently, a call to pfm_$inhibit can result in the loss of some signals. It is good practice to inhibit faults only when absolutely necessary.

Note

This routine has no effect on the processing of synchronous faults such as floating-point and overflow exceptions, access violations, and so on.
