Stores a doubleword of data in a specified location in memory.
| stfd | FRS,D(RA) | |
The stfd instruction stores the contents of floating-point register (FPR) FRS into the doubleword storage addressed by the effective address (EA).
If general-purpose register (GPR) RA is not 0, the EA is the sum of the contents of GPR RA and D. The sum is a 16-bit signed two's complement integer sign-extended to 32 bits. If GPR RA is 0, then the EA is D.
The stfd instruction has one syntax form and does not affect the Floating-Point Status and Control Register or Condition Register Field 0.
The following code stores the contents of FPR 6 into a location in memory:
.csect data[rw] buffer: .long 0,0 # Assume FPR 6 contains 0x4865 6C6C 6F20 776F. # Assume GPR 4 contains the address of csect data[rw]. .csect text[pr] stfd 6,buffer(4) # buffer now contains 0x4865 6C6C 6F20 776F.
