NAME

std::numeric_limits::is_iec559 - std::numeric_limits::is_iec559

Synopsis

static const bool is_iec559; (until C++11)
static constexpr bool is_iec559; (since C++11)

The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::is_iec559 is true for all floating-point types
T which fulfill the requirements of IEC 559 (IEEE 754) standard. If
std::numeric_limits<T>::is_iec559 is true, then
std::numeric_limits<T>::has_infinity, std::numeric_limits<T>::has_quiet_NaN, and
std::numeric_limits<T>::has_signaling_NaN are also true.
