of the fucom[p][p] instructions. This allows us to code generate this function
bool %test(double %X, double %Y) {
%C = setlt double %Y, %X
ret bool %C
}
... into:
test:
fld QWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
fld QWORD PTR [%ESP + 12]
fucomip %ST(1)
fstp %ST(0)
setb %AL
movsx %EAX, %AL
ret
where before we generated:
test:
fld QWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
fld QWORD PTR [%ESP + 12]
fucompp
** fnstsw
** sahf
setb %AL
movsx %EAX, %AL
ret
The two marked instructions (which are the ones eliminated) are very bad,
because they serialize execution of the processor. These instructions are
available on the PPRO and later, but since we already use cmov's we aren't
losing any portability.
I retained the old code for the day when we decide we want to support back
to the 386.
