Store Integer

FIST m16int/m32int

Converts ST(0) to integer and stores in memory.

Details

Converts the floating-point value in ST(0) to a signed integer using the current rounding mode and stores the result in the specified 16-bit or 32-bit memory location. The x87 FPU status flags (C0, C1, C2, C3) may be set depending on rounding or overflow conditions. The stack top (ST(0)) remains unchanged after the operation.

Pseudocode Operation

dest ← convert_to_integer(ST(0), rounding_mode);
update_x87_status_flags();

Description

The FIST instruction converts the value in the ST(0) register to a signed integer and stores the result in the destination operand. Values can be stored in word or doubleword integer format. The destination operand specifies the address where the first byte of the destination value is to be stored. The FISTP instruction performs the same operation as the FIST instruction and then pops the register stack. To pop the register stack, the processor marks the ST(0) register as empty and increments the stack pointer (TOP) by 1. The FISTP instruction also stores values in quadword integer format. The following table shows the results obtained when storing various classes of numbers in integer format. Table 3-29.

Exceptions

Protected Mode Exceptions

#GP(0) If the destination is located in a non-writable segment. 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 is used to access memory and it contains a NULL segment selector. #SS(0) If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. #NM CR0.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. #UD If the LOCK prefix is used.

Real-Address Mode Exceptions

#GP If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. #SS If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. #NM CR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1. #UD If 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. #NM CR0.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. #UD If the LOCK prefix is used.
