FBLD

Load Binary Coded Decimal

OpcodeInstruction64-Bit ModeCompat/Leg ModeDescription
DF /4FBLD m80bcdValidValidConvert BCD value to floating-point and push onto the FPU stack.

Description

Converts the BCD source operand into double extended-precision floating-point format and pushes the value onto the FPU stack. The source operand is loaded without rounding errors. The sign of the source operand is preserved, including that of −0.

The packed BCD digits are assumed to be in the range 0 through 9; the instruction does not check for invalid digits (AH through FH). Attempting to load an invalid encoding produces an undefined result.

This instruction’s operation is the same in non-64-bit modes and 64-bit mode.

Operation

TOP := TOP − 1;
ST(0) := ConvertToDoubleExtendedPrecisionFP(SRC);

FPU Flags Affected

C1Set to 1 if stack overflow occurred; otherwise, set to 0.
C0, C2, C3Undefined.

Floating-Point Exceptions

#​ISStack overflow occurred.

Protected Mode Exceptions

#​​​​GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
If the DS, ES, FS, or GS register contains a NULL segment selector.
#​​​​​SS(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#​NMCR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#​PF(fault-code)If a page fault occurs.
#​AC(0)If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.
#​​​UDIf the LOCK prefix is used.

Real-Address Mode Exceptions

#​​​​GPIf a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#​​​​​SSIf a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#​NMCR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#​​​UDIf the LOCK prefix is used.

Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions

#​​​​GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#​​​​​SS(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#​NMCR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#​PF(fault-code)If a page fault occurs.
#​AC(0)If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made.
#​​​UDIf the LOCK prefix is used.

Compatibility Mode Exceptions

Same exceptions as in protected mode.

64-Bit Mode Exceptions

#​​​​​SS(0)If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form.
#​​​​GP(0)If the memory address is in a non-canonical form.
#​NMCR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#​​MFIf there is a pending x87 FPU exception.
#​PF(fault-code)If a page fault occurs.
#​AC(0)If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.
#​​​UDIf the LOCK prefix is used.
