/* __gmp_invalid_operation is for an invalid floating point operation, like
mpz_set_d on a NaN or Inf. It's done as a subroutine to minimize code in
places raising an exception.
feraiseexcept(FE_INVALID) is not used here, since unfortunately on most
systems it would require libm.
Alternatives:
It might be possible to check whether a hardware "invalid operation" trap
is enabled or not before raising a signal. This would require all
callers to be prepared to continue with some bogus result. Bogus returns
are bad, but presumably an application disabling the trap is prepared for
that.
On some systems (eg. BSD) the signal handler can find out the reason for
a SIGFPE (overflow, invalid, div-by-zero, etc). Perhaps we could get
that into our raise too.
i386 GLIBC implements feraiseexcept(FE_INVALID) with an asm fdiv 0/0.
That would both respect the exceptions mask and give a reason code in a
BSD signal. */
