+.. option:: -fcomplex-arithmetic=<value>:
+
+   This option specifies the implementation for complex multiplication and division.
+
+   Valid values are: ``basic``, ``improved``, ``full`` and ``promoted``.
+
+   * ``basic`` Implementation of complex division and multiplication using
+     algebraic formulas at source precision. No special handling to avoid
+     overflow. NaN and infinite and  values are not handled.
+   * ``improved`` Implementation of complex division using the Smith algorithm
+     at source precision. Smith's algorithm for complex division.
+     See SMITH, R. L. Algorithm 116: Complex division. Commun. ACM 5, 8 (1962).
+     This value offers improved handling for overflow in intermediate
+     calculations, but overflow may occur. NaN and infinite and  values are not
+     handled in some cases.
+   * ``full`` Implementation of complex division and multiplication using a
+     call to runtime library functions (generally the case, but the BE might
+     sometimes replace the library call if it knows enough about the potential
+     range of the inputs). Overflow and non-finite values are handled by the
+     library implementation. For the case of multiplication overflow will occur in
+     accordance with normal floating-point rules.
+   * ``promoted`` Implementation of complex division using algebraic formulas at
+     higher precision. Overflow is handled. Non-finite values are handled in some
+     cases. If the target does not have native support for a higher precision
+     data type, an implementation for the complex operation will be used to provide
+     improved guards against intermediate overflow, but overflow and underflow may
+     still occur in some cases. NaN and infinite and  values are not handled.
+     This is the default value.

 .. option:: -fcx-limited-range:
 
-   This option enables the naive mathematical formulas for complex division and
-   multiplication with no NaN checking of results. The default is
-   ``-fno-cx-limited-range``, but this option is enabled by the ``-ffast-math``
+   This option is aliased to ``-fcomplex-arithmetic=basic``. It enables the
+   naive mathematical formulas for complex division and multiplication with no
+   NaN checking of results. The default is ``-fno-cx-limited-range`` aliased to
+   ``-fcomplex-arithmetic=full``. This option is enabled by the ``-ffast-math``
