int isless(real-floating

  y);
 
The 
isless() macro shall determine whether its first argument is less
  than its second argument. The value of 
isless( 
x, 
y)
  shall be equal to ( 
x) < (
y); however, unlike (
  
x) < (
y), 
isless( 
x, 
y)
  shall not raise the invalid floating-point exception when 
x and
  
y are unordered.
Upon successful completion, the 
isless() macro shall return the value of
  ( 
x) < (
y).
If 
x or 
y is NaN, 0 shall be returned.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
The relational and equality operators support the usual mathematical
  relationships between numeric values. For any ordered pair of numeric values,
  exactly one of the relationships (less, greater, and equal) is true.
  Relational operators may raise the invalid floating-point exception when
  argument values are NaNs. For a NaN and a numeric value, or for two NaNs, just
  the unordered relationship is true. This macro is a quiet (non-floating-point
  exception raising) version of a relational operator. It facilitates writing
  efficient code that accounts for NaNs without suffering the invalid
  floating-point exception. In the SYNOPSIS section, 
real-floating
  indicates that the argument shall be an expression of 
real-floating
  type.
None.
None.
