Detailed Description

This module contains procedures and generic interfaces and generic interfaces for testing for exceptional cases at runtime.

Three exceptional cases are currently handled by the procedures of this module,

1. Addition Outflow: Testing whether numerical negative or positive overflow can occur in an addition operation for arbitrary intrinsic numeric types and kinds, without the risk of facing runtime positive or negative outflow (overflow) errors.
   There are two scenarios leading to an addition a + b outflow:
   1. Negative Overflow occurs if and only if a < 0 && b < 0 && a < min - b.
   2. Positive Overflow occurs if and only if 0 < a && 0 < b && max - b < a.
   where min and max refer to the minimum and maximum possible values for the type and kind of the pair (a,b).
   
2. Infinity: obtaining or testing for occurrences of real and complex IEEE-compliant infinity values.
   
3. Not-A-Number (NAN): obtaining or testing for the occurrences of real and complex IEEE-compliant NaN (Not A Number) values.
