|
<p>All 80387 floating point types except packed BCD are supported.
|
(BCD support may be added without much difficulty). These data
|
types are 16-, 32-, and 64- bit integers, and single (32-bit),
|
double (64-bit), and extended (80-bit) precision floating point.
|
Each supported type has an instruction mnemonic suffix and a constructor
|
associated with it. Instruction mnemonic suffixes specify the operand’s
|
data type. Constructors build these data types into memory.
|

<ul>
|
<li> Floating point constructors are ‘<samp>.float</samp>’ or ‘<samp>.single</samp>’,
|
‘<samp>.double</samp>’, and ‘<samp>.tfloat</samp>’ for 32-, 64-, and 80-bit formats.
|
These correspond to instruction mnemonic suffixes ‘<samp>s</samp>’, ‘<samp>l</samp>’,
|
and ‘<samp>t</samp>’. ‘<samp>t</samp>’ stands for 80-bit (ten byte) real. The 80387
|
only supports this format via the ‘<samp>fldt</samp>’ (load 80-bit real to stack
|
top) and ‘<samp>fstpt</samp>’ (store 80-bit real and pop stack) instructions.
|
|
</li><li> <a name="index-word-directive_002c-i386"></a>
|
<a name="index-long-directive_002c-i386"></a>

<a name="index-int-directive_002c-x86_002d64"></a>
|
<a name="index-quad-directive_002c-x86_002d64"></a>
|
Integer constructors are ‘<samp>.word</samp>’, ‘<samp>.long</samp>’ or ‘<samp>.int</samp>’, and
|
‘<samp>.quad</samp>’ for the 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integer formats. The
|
corresponding instruction mnemonic suffixes are ‘<samp>s</samp>’ (short),
|
‘<samp>l</samp>’ (long), and ‘<samp>q</samp>’ (quad). As with the 80-bit real format,
|
the 64-bit ‘<samp>q</samp>’ format is only present in the ‘<samp>fildq</samp>’ (load
|
quad integer to stack top) and ‘<samp>fistpq</samp>’ (store quad integer and pop
|
stack) instructions.
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>Register to register operations should not use instruction mnemonic suffixes.
|
‘<samp>fstl %st, %st(1)</samp>’ will give a warning, and be assembled as if you
|
wrote ‘<samp>fst %st, %st(1)</samp>’, since all register to register operations
|
use 80-bit floating point operands. (Contrast this with ‘<samp>fstl %st, mem</samp>’,
|
which converts ‘<samp>%st</samp>’ from 80-bit to 64-bit floating point format,
|
then stores the result in the 4 byte location ‘<samp>mem</samp>’)
