_set_SSE2_enable
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at _set_SSE2_enable.
Enables or disables the use of Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) instructions in CRT math routines. (This function is not available on x64 architectures because SSE2 is enabled by default.)
int _set_SSE2_enable( int flag );
Parameters
flag
1 to enable the SSE2 implementation; 0 to disable the SSE2 implementation. By default, SSE2 implementation is enabled on processors that support it.
Nonzero if SSE2 implementation is enabled; zero if SSE2 implementation is disabled.
The following functions have SSE2 implementations that can be enabled by using _set_SSE2_enable:
The SSE2 implementations of these functions might give slightly different answers than the default implementations, because SSE2 intermediate values are 64-bit floating-point quantities but the default implementation intermediate values are 80-bit floating-point quantities.
If you use the /Oi (Generate Intrinsic Functions) compiler option to compile the project, it may appear that |
The SSE2 implementation is only used if all exceptions are masked. Use _control87, _controlfp to mask exceptions.
