I would vote for -ffast-math to disable it.
Please don't. I think parentheses should be obeyed in FORTRAN.
Does the Fortran standard say that (I assume that despite using
the name for the 66 language, you really mean Fortran :-)
-ffast-math groups several useful optimization for usual codes
and I don't see why users should have to remember their names
if they want to keep mandatory parentheses.
Now I also think one should think twice (at least!) before
introducing a new option (some day I'll rant against their
number).
