COMISD—Compare Scalar Ordered Double-Precision Floating-Point
Values and Set EFLAGS
Description
Compares the double-precision floating-point values in the low quadwords of
operand 1 (first operand) and operand 2 (second operand), and sets the ZF, PF, and
CF flags in the EFLAGS register according to the result (unordered, greater than, less
than, or equal). The OF, SF and AF flags in the EFLAGS register are set to 0. The unor-
dered result is returned if either source operand is a NaN (QNaN or SNaN).
Operand 1 is an XMM register; operand 2 can be an XMM register or a 64 bit memory
location.
The COMISD instruction differs from the UCOMISD instruction in that it signals a
SIMD floating-point invalid operation exception (#I) when a source operand is either
a QNaN or SNaN. The UCOMISD instruction signals an invalid numeric exception only
if a source operand is an SNaN.
The EFLAGS register is not updated if an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception is
generated.
In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional
registers (XMM8-XMM15).
