FCHS—Change Sign

Opcode Instruction 64-Bit Mode Compat/Leg Mode Description
D9 E0 FCHS Valid Valid Complements sign of ST(0).

Description

Complements the sign bit of ST(0). This operation changes a positive value into a negative value of equal magni-tude or vice versa. The following table shows the results obtained when changing the sign of various classes of numbers.

Table 3-20. FCHS Results

ST(0) SRC

ST(0) DEST

− ∞ + ∞
− F + F
− 0 + 0
+ 0 − 0
+ F − F
+ ∞ − ∞
NaN NaN

NOTES:

*

F means finite floating-point value.

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

Operation

SignBit(ST(0)) := NOT (SignBit(ST(0)));

FPU Flags Affected

C1 Set to 0.
C0, C2, C3 Undefined.
