Personally I think it's strange for an option to say "this will never fuse ops" and then under the covers will fuse ops, regardless of how FMAD is defined. However, my primary concern is for FMAs. They have both numeric and performance implications and I do not think it's unreasonable that off means off.</span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">I think you have a different definition of fused then. Fused is a description of how the operation is computed/rounded, not an instruction count. The F in FMAD is not fused (I know this naming scheme is not great. Every other FP node besides FMA has an F prefix)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For FMA, I think your example IR is correctly handled. The fast instruction flag should override the global FP option you’re providing. For the issue you are describing, this is more of a question of whether clang should be emitting the fast flag or not.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Matt</div></body></html>
