I put a workaround into the test case CodeGen/fp-floatcontrol-pragma.cpp, the forward class declaration ResetTUScope. If the reset is there, then the pragma is recognized to be at file scope.

I tried this also: (Actions.getCurScope()->getParent() != nullptr) but that also failed to detect current scope is file scope. In the debugger, where the pragma occurs immediately after a function definition, I can see that CurScope is still the function body. The transition to outer scope must not yet have occurred. I can investigate.

Comment at: clang/lib/Sema/SemaExpr.cpp:13129
     if (FunctionDecl *F = dyn_cast<FunctionDecl>(CurContext)) {
+      // If the expression occurs inside an internal global_var_init_function
+      // then the FunctionDecl is not availble

For example I tried this test case with the fp_contract pragma, and the pragma does modify the semantics of the floating point expressions in the initializer.  So this issue is still a problem in this patch.

> This is an interesting example. However there is no contradiction with the standard. The standard speaks about floating point environment, which on most processors are represented by bits of some register(s). The pragma `STDC FP_CONTRACT` does not refer to the FPEnv, but is an instruction to the compiler how to generate code, so it affects code generation even in global var initializers.

I wasn't yet certain about the interpretation of the pragma on the initializatin expressions. Today I did some testing with ICL and CL and it seems the pragma has no effect on the initialization expressions that occur within constructors in classes at file scope.  So I'll remove the TBD and the current behavior in this patch wrt this question is OK.
