Assembler Language Reference

fctidz (Floating Convert to Integer Double Word with Round toward Zero) Instruction

Purpose

Convert the contents of a floating-point register to a 64-bit signed fixed-point integer using the round-toward-zero rounding mode. Place the results into another floating-point register.

fctidz FRT, FRB (Rc=0)
fctidz. FRT, FRB (Rc=1)

Description

The floating-point operand in floating-point register (FRP) FRB is converted to a 64-bit signed fixed-point integer, using the rounding mode round toward zero, and placed into FPR FRT.

If the operand in FPR FRB is greater than 2**63 - 1, then FPR FRT is set to 0x7FFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF. If the operand in frB is less than 2**63 , then FPR FRT is set to 0x8000_0000_0000_0000.

Except for enabled invalid operation exceptions, FPSCR[FPRF] is undefined. FPSCR[FR] is set if the result is incremented when rounded. FPSCR[FI] is set if the result is inexact.

The fctidz instruction has two syntax forms. Each syntax form has a different effect on Condition Register Field 1.

Syntax Form Floating-Point Status and Control Register Record Bit (Rc) Condition Register Field 1
fctidz FPRF(undefined),FR,FI,FX,XX,VXSNAN,VXCVI 0 None
fctidz. FPRF(undefined),FR,FI,FX,XX,VXSNAN,VXCVI 1 FX,FEX,VX,OX

Parameters

FRT Specifies the target floating-point register for the operation.
FRB Specifies the source floating-point register for the operation.

Implementation

This instruction is defined only for 64-bit implementations. Using it on a 32-bit implementation will cause the system illegal instruction error handler to be invoked.
