Description

Compares the contents of register ST(0) and source value and sets condition code flags C0, C2, and C3 in the FPU status word according to the results (see the table below). The source operand can be a data register or a memory location. If no source operand is given, the value in ST(0) is compared with the value in ST(1). The sign of zero is ignored, so that 0.0 is equal to +0.0.

Floating-Point Exceptions

#IS                 Stack underflow occurred.
#IA                 One or both operands are NaN values or have unsupported formats.

Register is marked empty.

#D                  One or both operands are denormal values.

Exceptions

Protected mode
#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
#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
#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
Same exceptions as in protected mode.
64-bit mode
#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.
