Include the standard header <complex.h> to define several macros and a host of functions for use with the three complex arithmetic types float _Complex, double _Complex, and long double _Complex. (If you include this header in a C++ program, these three types are effectively replaced by complex<float>, complex<double>, and complex<long double>, respectively.) Unless otherwise specified, functions that can return multiple values return an imaginary part in the half-open interval (-pi, pi].

The pragma:

#pragma STD CX_LIMITED_RANGE [ON|OFF|DEFAULT]

controls the behavior of complex multiply, divide, and magnitude. If the parameter is ON, the translator is permitted to use the conventional expressions:

(x + I * y) * (u + I * v) =
    (x * u - y * v) + I * (y * u + x * v)
(x + I * y) / (u + I * v) =
    ((x * u + y * v) + I * (y * u - x * v))
        / (u * u + v * v)
abs(x + I * y) = sqrt(x * x + y * y)

without regard to possible intermediate overflow. The parameter OFF has the same effect as DEFAULT; it restores the original state where such latitude is not permitted. If the pragma occurs outside an external declaration, it remains in effect until overridden by another such pragma. If the pragma occurs inside an external declaration, it must precede all explicit declarations and statements within a compound statement. It remains in effect until overridden by another such pragma or until the end of the compound statement.
