IPF-fp-speculation, QIPF-fp-speculation

Tells the compiler the mode to speculate on floating-point (FP) operations.

IDE Equivalent

None

Architectures

IntelŪ ItaniumŪ architecture

Syntax

Linux: -IPF-fp-speculationmode
Windows:  /QIPF-fp-speculationmode

Arguments

mode     Is the mode for floating-point operations. Possible values are:
  fast Tells the compiler to speculate on floating-point operations.
  safe Tells the compiler to speculate on floating-point operations only when safe.
  strict Tells the compiler to disable speculation on floating-point operations.
  off Same as strict.

Default

-IPF-fp-speculationfast or
/QIPF-fp-speculationfast
The compiler speculates on floating-point operations when optimizations are enabled.  If you specify no optimizations (-O0 on Linux; /Od on Windows), the default is -IPF-fp-speculationsafe (Linux) or /QIPF-fp-speculationsafe (Windows).

Description

This option tells the compiler the mode to speculate on floating-point operations.

Alternate Options

Linux: -IPF_fp_speculation
Windows: /QIPF_fp_speculation
