Rationale
FloatingPointControldocumentation incorrectly claimed that enablinginvalidException/severeExceptionstraps on "uninitialized" floating-point variables.That is inaccurate: an uninitialized float may hold a valid bit pattern, and default-initialized floating-point values in D are quiet NaNs, which do not by themselves raise the invalid-operation exception.
This updates the module docs and example to describe actual invalid operations (e.g.
0.0/0.0) and to state that quiet NaNs / default-initialized floats do not trigger that trap on their own.Feature request or issue tracking
Closes #11050.
