-no-fp-port
or/Qfp-port-

The default rounding behavior depends on the compiler's code generation decisions and the precision parameters of the operating system.

Description

This option rounds floating-point results after floating-point operations. Rounding to user-specified precision occurs at assignments and type conversions. This has some impact on speed.

The default is to keep results of floating-point operations in higher precision. This provides better performance but less consistent floating-point results.

Alternate Options

None
