/QMFPE, /QMFPE - Floating Point Emulation

  • Article

These options control compiler expectations for floating point arithmetic support.

/QMFPE turns on floating point emulation and is the default.

/QMFPE causes the compiler to generate instructions for a floating-point hardware unit.

The following criteria apply to floating point emulation:

  • When no /QMmipsNN option is specified in the command line, then /QMFPE is default.
  • If /QMmips1 or /QMmips2 option is specified in the command line, then /QMFPE is the default.
  • If /QMmips3, /QMmips4, /QMmips5, or /QMmips64 option is specified in the command line then /QMFPE- is default.

For more information about /QMmipsNN options, see /QMmipsNN - Generate code for specific MIPS ISA.
