fp_contract
Determines whether floating-point contraction will take place.
#pragma fp_contract [ON | OFF]
Remarks
By default, fp_contract is ON.
For more information on floating-point behavior, see /fp (Specify Floating-Point Behavior).
Other floating-point pragmas include:
Example
The code generated from this sample does not use the Fused Multiply Add (fma) instruction on Itanium processors. If you comment out #pragma fp_contract (off), the generated code will use the fma instruction.
// pragma_directive_fp_contract.cpp
// compile with: /O2
#include <stdio.h>
#include <float.h>
#pragma fp_contract (off)
