Run-Time Library Reference

_set_SSE2_enable

Enables or disables the use of Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 Instructions (SSE2) instructions in CRT math routines.

int _set_SSE2_enable(
   int flag
);

Parameters

flag: 1 for enabling the SSE2 implementation. 0 for disabling the SSE2 implementation. By default, SSE2 implementation is enabled on processors that support it.

Return Value

Nonzero if SSE2 implementation is enabled; zero if SSE2 implementation is disabled.

Remarks

The following functions have SSE2 implementations that can be enabled with _set_SSE2_enable:

The SSE2 implementation might give slightly different answers from the default implementations of these functions, because SSE2 intermediate values are 64-bit floating-point quantities but the default implementation intermediate values are 80-bit floating-point quantities.

The SSE2 implementation is only used if all exceptions are masked. Use _control87, _controlfp to mask exceptions.

Example

// crt_set_SSE2_enable.c
// processor: x86
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   int i = _set_SSE2_enable(1);

   if (i)
      printf("SSE2 enabled.\n");
   else
      printf("SSE2 not enabled; processor does not support SSE2.\n");
}

Output

SSE2 enabled.
