Subject: bitwise-OR of nothing

Problem

FE_ALL_EXCEPT is defined in 7.6#6 as:

[#6] The macro

            FE_ALL_EXCEPT

is simply the bitwise OR of all floating-point exception macros defined by the implementation.

[This appears to be the only case of its kind.]

Suggested Technical Corrigendum

Append to 7.6#6:

Technical Corrigendum

Append to 7.6#6:

If no such macros are defined, FE_ALL_EXCEPT shall be defined as 0.
