Description

The v?NextAfter function returns a vector containing the next representable floating-point values following the first vector argument elements in the direction of the second vector argument's corresponding elements.

Special cases:

Overflow

The function raises overflow and inexact floating-point exceptions and sets VML_STATUS_OVERFLOW if an input vector argument element is finite and the corresponding result vector element value is infinite.

Underflow

The function raises underflow and inexact floating-point exceptions and sets VML_STATUS_UNDERFLOW if a result vector element value is subnormal or zero, and different from the corresponding input vector argument element.

Even though underflow or overflow can occur, the returned value is independent of the current rounding direction mode.
