/Qimprecise_fwaits (Remove fwaits Inside Try Blocks)

Removes the fwait commands internal to try blocks when you use the /fp:except compiler option.

/Qimprecise_fwaits

Remarks

This option has no effect if /fp:except is not also specified. If you specify the /fp:except option, the compiler will insert a fwait command around each line of code in a try block. In this way, the compiler can identify the specific line of code that produces an exception. /Qimprecise_fwaits removes internal fwait instructions, leaving only the waits around the try block. This improves performance, but the compiler will only be able to say which try block causes an exception, not which line.
