INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE
FTSTTEST
Description
This instruction compares the value in the ST(0) register with 0.0 and sets the condition code
flags C0, C2, and C3 in the FPU status word according to the results (refer to the table below).
This instruction performs an unordered comparison. An unordered comparison also checks
the class of the numbers being compared (refer to FXAMExamine in this chapter). If the
value in register ST(0) is a NaN or is in an undefined format, the condition flags are set to unor-
dered and the invalid operation exception is generated.
The sign of zero is ignored, so that 0.0 = +0.0.
