Intel® Fortran Compiler 17.0 Developer Guide and Reference

complex-limited-range, Qcomplex-limited-range

Determines whether the use of basic algebraic expansions of some arithmetic operations involving data of type COMPLEX is enabled.

Syntax

Linux and macOS:

-complex-limited-range

-no-complex-limited-range

Windows:

/Qcomplex-limited-range

/Qcomplex-limited-range-

Arguments

None

Default

-no-complex-limited-range
or/Qcomplex-limited-range-

Basic algebraic expansions of some arithmetic operations involving data of type COMPLEX are disabled.

Description

This option determines whether the use of basic algebraic expansions of some arithmetic operations involving data of type COMPLEX is enabled.

When the option is enabled, this can cause performance improvements in programs that use a lot of COMPLEX arithmetic. However, values at the extremes of the exponent range may not compute correctly.

IDE Equivalent

Visual Studio: Floating point > Limit COMPLEX Range

Eclipse: None

Xcode: Floating point > Limit COMPLEX Range

Alternate Options

None
