OVERVIEW OF NUMERIC PROCESSING
Table 1-17. Exception Conditions and Masked Responses
Condition
Masked Response
Invalid Operation
Source register is tagged empty (usually due
to stack underflow).
Destination
register is not tagged empty
(usually due to stack overflow).
One or both operands is a NaN.
(Compare and test operations only): one or
both operands is a NaN.
(Addition operations only): closure
is affine and
operands are opposite-signed infinities;
or
closure is projective and both operands are 00
(signs immaterial).
(Subtraction operations only): closure
is affine
and operands are
like-signed infinities; or
closure is projective and both operands are 00
(signs immaterial).
(Multiplication operations only): 00 • 0; or 0 •
00.
(Division operations only): 00 -;- 00; or 0 -;- 0;
or 0 -;- pseudo zero; or divisor is denormal or
unnormal.
(FPREM instruction only): modulus (divisor) is
unnormal or denormal; or dividend is 00.
(FSQRT instruction only): operand is nonzero
and negative;
or operand is denormal or
unnormal; or closure is affine and operand is
-00; or closure is projective and operand is
00.
(Compare operations only): closure is projec-
tive and 00 is being compared with 0, a normal,
or
00.
(FTST instruction only): closure is projective
and operand is
00.
(FIST, FISTP instructions only): source regis-
ter is empty, a NaN, denormal, unnormal, 00,
or exceeds representable range of destina-
tion.
(FBSTP instruction only): source register
is
empty, a NaN, denormal, unnormal, 00, or
exceeds 18 decimal digits.
(FST,
FSTP instructions only): destination is
short
or long. real and source register is an
unnormal with exponent in range.
(FXCH Instruction only): one or both registers
is tagged empty.

Change empty register(s) to real indefinite and
then'perform exchange.
