[ET Trac] [Einstein Toolkit] #961: Add an option for enabling floating point exceptions

#961: Add an option for enabling floating point exceptions -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Cactus disables floating point exceptions, so that NaNs and Infs can be generated by numerical code. When debugging, it is sometimes very helpful to use these exceptions, as a debugger will tell you exactly which piece of code generates them.

I propose that Cactus should have a run-time parameter, defaulting to "no", which enables floating point exceptions.
