We know that:
(1) java could handle DivideByZero ArithmeticException gracefully.
(2) C/c++ language cannot handle this, unless we use system-level error handling----like on linux, we need to set up signal handler to process SIGFPE, and then continue.
So my question is: how jvm implements internally, when a DivideByZero case occurs, is this just like that, the floating point error is detected by operating system, a signal is sent to jvm, and jvm transfers this signal handler into a java exception for client code?
Just a guess, is there any explanation from jvm principals? Thanks.
