Fpu Help

[ghostrider 0]

I'm new to using the FPU in assembly, the 'Stack Fault' bit in the Status Word is always set, and I'm not quite sure what this means. Has anyone else encountered this problem? My code is posted below. It will eventually take a 64-bit variable and turn it into a number that a human can understand.

Hmm... don't you hate it when you get replies only months away from your problem?
I don't know if you're still looking for an answer, but here's one: (finally)

The SF field (bit6) or Stack Fault exception is set whenever an attempt is made to either load a value into a register which is not free (the C1 bit would also get set to 1) or pop a value from a register which is free (and the C1 bit would get reset to 0). (Such stack fault is also treated as an invalid operation and the I field flag bit0 would thus also be set by this exception; see below.)

So basically either a) you tried to write over a register you loaded b)you forgot to clear the FPU registers.

a)doesn't really seem like it. I might have to go over it a few times, but it seems like clean code.
b)hmm... have you tried FFREEing your registers first? Because they're usually loaded before
you run your code. FFREE x - clears fpu register x.
