1.19. FLOATING-POINT UNIT

FSTP ST(1)has been executed: a value of 5.6 is now at the top of the FPU stack.

Figure 1.86:OllyDbg:FSTPhas been executed

We now see that theFSTP ST(1)instruction works as follows: it leaves what has been at the top of the
stack, but clearsST(1).

GCC 4.4.1

Listing 1.212: GCC 4.4.1

d_max proc near

b = qword ptr -10h
a = qword ptr -8
a_first_half = dword ptr 8
a_second_half = dword ptr 0Ch
b_first_half = dword ptr 10h
b_second_half = dword ptr 14h

push ebp

mov ebp, esp

sub esp, 10h

; put a and b to local stack:

mov eax, [ebp+a_first_half]

mov dword ptr [ebp+a], eax

mov eax, [ebp+a_second_half]

mov dword ptr [ebp+a+4], eax

mov eax, [ebp+b_first_half]
