3-330 Vol. 2A FINCSTP—Increment Stack-Top Pointer
INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE, A-M
FINCSTP—Increment Stack-Top Pointer
Description
Adds one to the TOP field of the FPU status word (increments the top-of-stack
pointer). If the TOP field contains a 7, it is set to 0. The effect of this instruction is to
rotate the stack by one position. The contents of the FPU data registers and tag
register are not affected. This operation is not equivalent to popping the stack,
because the tag for the previous top-of-stack register is not marked empty.
This instruction’s operation is the same in non-64-bit modes and 64-bit mode.
Operation
IF TOP = 7
THEN TOP ← 0;
ELSE TOP ← TOP + 1;
FI;
FPU Flags Affected

Protected Mode Exceptions
