/[no]fltconsistency (ia32 only)

Syntax:

/fltconsistency, /nofltconsistency, or /Op

The /fltconsistency or /Op option enables improved floating-point consistency on ia32 systems. Floating-point operations are not reordered and the result of each floating-point operation is stored into the target variable rather than being kept in the floating-point processor for use in a subsequent calculation. This option is ignored on ia64 systems.

In the visual development environment, specify Enable Floating-Point Consistency in the Floating Point Compiler Option Category.

The default is /nofltconsistency, which provides better accuracy and run-time performance at the expense of less consistent floating-point results.
