I don't know anything about the details of _controlfp_s, etc., but I do have a debugging question. Did any of your versions of calling _controlfp_s have any effect in that they changed the results produced by the main thread (even if those changed results did not match the results of the asynchronous thread)? Or did your main thread still give the same results as without the _controlfp_s call? Obviously, until you can change the behavior of the main thread, you can't change it to match the asynchronous threads. In any event, hopefully someone on this list could tell you what call to _controlfp_s you need to match the floating-point environment that is getting set up for the asynchronous thread.

Yeah, you shouldn't have to use the less-favorable precision. But that's the nature of work-arounds ... Logically, I do think the idea should work. Sorry i can't give you any detail on how to make it work. (Of course, the better approach is to figure out how to make the child threads behave -- i.e., use the extended precision, and otherwise use a floating-point environment consistent with that of the main thread.)
