The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::has_denorm_loss is true for all floating-point types T capable of distinguishing loss of precision due to denormalization from other causes of inexact result.

[edit] Notes

Standard-compliant IEEE 754 floating-point implementations may detect the floating-point underflow at three predefined moments:

1) after computation of a result with absolute value smaller than std::numeric_limits<T>::min(), such implementation detects tinyness before rounding.

2) after rounding of the result to std::numeric_limits<T>::digits bits, if the result is tiny, such implementation detects tinyness after rounding.

3) if the conversion of the rounded tiny result to subnormal form resulted in the loss of precision, such implementation detects denorm loss.
