FIX: You receive an error message or an exception when you compile or run an application that has some compiler options turned on in Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Symptoms

In Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1), one of the following problems occurs.

Symptom 1

When you compile a project that contains the /arch:SSE(2) option and the /fp:except option, you receive the following error message:
Command line error D8016:'/arch:SSE2' and '/fp:except' command-line options are incompatible.

Symptom 2

When you run a Visual C++ application that contains an uninitialized floating-point, a floating-point exception occurs. Additionally, you may receive the following error message:
0xC0000090: Floating-point invalid operation
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • You add the /fp:except option to the compiler option list to disable the floating-point exception.

  • The source code contains an uninitialized floating-point variable.
  • The uninitialized floating-point variable is located in a memory that contains a signaling not-a-number (NaN) value.

Symptom 3

When you compile an unmanaged Visual C++ application by using the /O2 compiler option or the /Ox compiler option, you receive an exception that resembles the following:
Unhandled exception at 0x00401342 in file_name: 0xC0000090: Floating-point invalid operation.
Notes
  • The number 0x00401342 may change at different times.
  • The exception is not generated when you turn on the /Od compiler option or the /O1 compiler option.
