ERRORS
No errors other than EDOM
and ERANGE can occur. If
x is NaN, then NaN is
returned and errno may be set to
EDOM.
CONFORMING TO
The ceil() function conforms
to SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD, C89, C99. The other functions
are from C99.
NOTES
SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001 contain text about overflow (which
might set errno to ERANGE, or raise an exception). In
practice, the result cannot overflow on any current machine,
so this error-handling stuff is just nonsense. (More
precisely, overflow can happen only when the maximum value of
the exponent is smaller than the number of mantissa bits. For
the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating point
numbers the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (resp.
1024), and the number of mantissa bits is 24 (resp. 53).)
