Implementation defined behavior is controlled by #pragma directive.

[edit] Syntax

#pragma pragma_params

[edit] Explanation

Pragma directive controls implementation-specific behavior of the compiler, such as disabling compiler warnings or changing alignment requirements. Any pragma that is not recognized is ignored.

[edit] Standard pragmas

The following three pragmas are defined by the language standard:

#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS arg (1)
#pragma STDC FP_CONTRACT arg (2)
#pragma STDC CX_LIMITED_RANGE arg (3)

where arg is either ON or OFF or DEFAULT.

1) If set to ON, informs the compiler that the program will access or modify floating-point environment, which means that optimizations that could subvert flag tests and mode changes (e.g., global common subexpression elimination, code motion, and constant folding) are prohibited. The default value is implementation-defined, usually OFF.
2) Allows contracting of floating-point expressions, that is optimizations that omit rounding errors and floating-point exceptions that would be observed if the expression was evaluated exactly as written. The default value is implementation-defined, usually ON.
3) Informs the compiler that multiplication, division, and absolute value of complex numbers may use simplified mathematical formulas, despite the possibility of intermediate overflow. The range of the values passed to those function is expected to be limited. The default value is OFF

The behavior of the program is undefined if any of the three pragmas above appear in any context other than outside all external declarations or preceding all explicit declarations and statements inside a compound statement.
