Description

Compass/ROSE

 

 

Could detect violations of this rule by ensuring that floating-point operations are surrounded by feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). It would need to look for type conversions to float or double, divisions (by a number not known to be nonzero), and multiplication. It may be wisest to apply this to all floating-point operations in general
