floating point speculation option changes results in release

Hi all,

I am writing that I see changes in results by changing the floating point speculation option.

Is this supposed to happen ?

As far as I understood speculation involves evaluating (for example) the code inside an if before evaluating the if conidtion itself, and this could trigger floating point exceptions (in the if body) which are never actually executed (the if is not 'true').

Best regards,

Andrea
