Currently, TS 18661-1 has these words:

[5] The C classification macros fpclassify, iscanonical, isfinite, isinf, isnan,
isnormal, issignaling, issubnormal, and iszero provide the IEC 60559 operations indicated
in the table above provided their arguments are in the format of their semantic type. Then these
macros raise no floating-point exceptions, even if an argument is a signaling NaN.


Do we need to add words that those macros do not clear any FP exceptions?
