Converts a floating-point operand to a 32-bit signed integer.
| Bits | Value |

| 11-15 | /// |
| 16-20 | FRB |

| fcir | FRT, FRB |
| fcir. | FRT, FRB |
The fctiw and fcir instructions convert the floating-point operand in floating-point register (FPR) FRB to a 32-bit signed, fixed-point integer, using the rounding mode specified by Floating-Point Status and Control Register (FPSCR) RN. The result is placed in bits 32-63 of FPR FRT. Bits 0-31 of FPR FRT are undefined.
If the operand in FPR FRB is greater than 231 - 1, then the bits 32-63 of FPR FRT are set to 0x7FFF FFFF. If the operand in FPR FRB is less than -231, then the bits 32-63 of FPR FRT are set to 0x8000 0000.
The fctiw and fcir instruction each have 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 |
| fctiw | C,FL,FG,FE,FU,FR,FI,FX,XX,VXCVI, VXSNAN | 0 | None |
| fctiw. | C,FL,FG,FE,FU,FR,FI,FX,XX,VXCVI, VXSNAN | 1 | FX,FEX,VX,OX |
| fcir | C,FL,FG,FE,FU,FR,FI,FX,XX,VXCVI, VXSNAN | 0 | None |
| fcir. | C,FL,FG,FE,FU,FR,FI,FX,XX,VXCVI, VXSNAN | 1 | FX,FEX,VX,OX |
The syntax forms of the fctiw and fcir instructions always affect the FPSCR. If the syntax form sets the Record (Rc) bit to 1, the instruction affects the Floating-Point Exception (FX), Floating-Point Enabled Exception (FEX), Floating-Point Invalid Operation Exception (VX), and Floating-Point Overflow Exception (OX) bits in Condition Register Field 1. FPSCR(C,FI,FG,FE,FU) are undefined.
| FRT | Specifies the floating-point register where the integer result is placed. |
| FRB | Specifies the source floating-point register for the floating-point operand. |
The following code converts a floating-point value into an integer for use as an index in an array of floating-point values:
# Assume GPR 4 contains the address of the first element of
# the array.
# Assume GPR 1 contains the stack pointer.
# Assume a doubleword TEMP variable is allocated on the stack
# for use by the conversion routine.
# Assume FPR 6 contains the floating-point value for conversion
# into an index.
fctiw 5,6 # Convert floating-point value
# to integer.
stfd 5,TEMP(1) # Store to temp location.
lwz 3,TEMP+4(1) # Get the integer part of the
# doubleword.
lfd 5,0(3) # Get the selected array element.
# FPR 5 now contains the selected array element.
