      The compiler uses a faster but less precise implementation of square root. However, the default is -prec-sqrt or /Qprec-sqrt if any of the following options are specified: /Od, /fltconsistency, or /Qprec on Windows* systems; -O0, -fltconsistency, or -mp1 on Linux* and macOS systems.  |  
     
This option improves precision of square root implementations. It has a slight impact on speed.
This option inhibits any optimizations that can adversely affect the precision of a square root computation. The result is fully precise square root implementations, with some loss of performance.
