Notification is the process by which a user or program is informed that an exceptional arithmetic operation has occurred. C’s operations are compatible with LIA-1 in that C allows an implementation to cause a notification to occur when any arithmetic operation returns an exceptional value as defined in LIA-1 clause 5.
