<p>The exception policy specifies what is to occur when a safe
    operation cannot return a valid result. A type is an ExceptionPolicy if it
    has functions for handling exceptional events that occur in the course of
    safe numeric operations.</p>

<p>The library header <a href="../../include/exception_policies.hpp" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput">&lt;boost/numerics/safe_numerics/exception_policies.hpp&gt;
    </code></a>contains a number of pre-made exception policies:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
<p><code class="computeroutput">boost::numeric::loose_exception_policy</code></p>
<p>Throw on arithmetic errors, ignore other errors. Some
        applications ignore these issues and still work and we don't want to
        update them.</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p><code class="computeroutput">boost::numeric::loose_trap_policy</code></p>
<p>Same as above in that it doesn't check for various undefined
        behaviors but traps at compile time for hard arithmetic errors. This
        policy would be suitable for older embedded systems which depend on
        bit manipulation operations to work.</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p><code class="computeroutput">boost::numeric::strict_exception_policy</code></p>
<p>Permit just about anything, throw at runtime on any kind of
        error. Recommended for new code. Check everything at compile time if
        possible and runtime if necessary. Trap or Throw as appropriate.
        Should guarantee code to be portable across architectures.</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p><code class="computeroutput">boost::numeric::strict_trap_policy</code></p>
<p>Same as above but requires code to be written in such a way as
        to make it impossible for errors to occur. This naturally will require
        extra coding effort but might be justified for embedded and/or safety
        critical systems.</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p><code class="computeroutput">boost::numeric::default_exception_policy</code></p>
<p>Alias for <code class="computeroutput">strict_exception_policy</code>, One would use
        this first. After experimentation, one might switch to one of the
        above policies or perhaps use a custom policy.</p>
