dc_assert_fp_enabled(9)
π dc_assert_fp_enabled β a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie) π
okay so first things first: this gorgeous little page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the whole entire star of the show is dc_assert_fp_enabled. say it with me. iconic.
β¨ NAME β¨
dc_assert_fp_enabled β literally just checks if FPU protection is enabled, that's it, that's the vibe π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void dc_assert_fp_enabled (void );
like, no cap, that's the whole signature. she's lowkey minimalist.
π ARGUMENTS π
voidβ no arguments. zero. none. she takes nothing from nobody, periodt π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea: this function tells you whether the code is already under FPU protection or not. that's the entire job. she's not doing anything fancy, she's just telling you. π«Ά
and like, a function that works as an API for a set of FPU operations can use this function for checking if the caller invoked it after DC_FP_START. yep β that's the whole point. she's the vibe check for "did you actually wrap this in DC_FP_START first, or are you out here freelancing??" π
for example, take a look at dcn20_fpu.c file. that's your reference material, bestie, go read it. πβ¨

ngl if you're calling FPU stuff without checking your protection status first, that's giving chaos energy and not in a fun way π go read dcn20_fpu.c, i'm begging.
