AIUI x87 FP handling is outdated and mainly unused on current systems, as 
current systems do more and use more than the legacy x87 instructions and stack.

See https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/numeric/fenv and related docs for more 
modern approaches.

You would have to look into the AMD/Intel/IEEE docs for lower level details.
