double
| dmul |
Stack
..., value1.word1, value1.word2, value2.word1, value2.word2
..., result.word1, result.word2
Description
Both value1 and value2 must be of type double. The values are popped from the operand stack. The double result is value1 * value2. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.
The result of a dmul instruction is governed by the rules of IEEE arithmetic:
double, we say the operation overflows; the result is then an infinity of appropriate sign. If the magnitude is too small to represent as a double, we say the operation underflows; the result is then a zero of appropriate sign.
