Not sure what you mean, but in C++ floating point is considered 
system specific. So the same executable could yield different 
results on different machines for more complex constructs. Since 
pow() could be provided by the OS/CPU there is no portable 
optimization for it. Basically, the result is unknown at compile 
time.
