INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE, A-M
In this example, the FXTRACT instruction extracts the significand and exponent from
the value in ST(0) and stores them in ST(0) and ST(1) respectively. The FSCALE then
scales the significand in ST(0) by the exponent in ST(1), recreating the original value
before the FXTRACT operation was performed. The FSTP ST(1) instruction overwrites
the exponent (extracted by the FXTRACT instruction) with the recreated value, which
returns the stack to its original state with only one register [ST(0)] occupied.
This instruction’s operation is the same in non-64-bit modes and 64-bit mode.
Operation
ST(0) ← ST(0) ∗ 2
RoundTowardZero(ST(1))
;
FPU Flags Affected
C1 Set to 0 if stack underflow occurred.
Set if result was rounded up; cleared otherwise.
C0, C2, C3 Undefined.
