Five basic instruction forms may be used across all six operations, as shown in table 2-3. The classicial
stack form may be used to make the 80287 operate like a classical stack machine. No operands are
coded
in this form, only the instruction mnemonic. The NPX picks the source operand from the stack
top and the destination from the next stack element. It then pops the stack, performs the operation,
and returns the result to the new stack top, effectively replacing the operands by the result.
The register form
is a generalization of the classical stack form; the programmer specifies the stack
top as one operand and any register
on the stack as the other operand. Coding the stack top as the
destination provides a convenient way to access a constant, held elsewhere
in the stack, from the stack
top. The converse coding
(ST is the source operand) allows, for example, adding the top into a register
used
as an accumulator.
