digitalmars.D - FISTTP Instructiion Missing

The asm {} in D is quite handy, but it seems
that the FISTTP instruction is missing. This
one shouln't be too tricky to implement.

The FISTTP instruction doesn't appear in the Intel data sheets. Perhaps you mean FISTP?

No, as opposed to FISTP, FISTTP bypasses rounding when storing integers, so rounding flags can be left untouched when a truncated result is desired. Can be found in the following PDF file: IA-32 Intel® Architecture Software Developer’s Manual Volume 2A: Instruction Set Reference, A-M 2004 FISTTP: Store Integer with Truncation Description: FISTTP converts the value in ST into a signed integer using truncation (chop) as rounding mode, transfers the result to the destination, and pops ST. FISTTP accepts word, short integer, and long integer destinations.

Hmm, must be a new one.

 FISTTP: Store Integer with Truncation

 Description:

 integer using truncation (chop) as rounding mode,
 transfers the result to the destination, and pops ST.
 FISTTP accepts word, short integer, and long
 integer destinations.

I believe FISTTP is an SSE3 instruction and not (yet) supported by DMC

I found it in the Pentium 4 manuals (it was new for that processor). It's
added now to the inline assembler.

Excellent.

Does this mean that the other SSE3 instructions have been added too?

ADDSUBPD
ADDSUBPS
HADDPD
HSUBPD
HADDPS
HSUBPS
LDDQU
MOVDDUP
MOVSHDUP
MOVSLDUP
MONITOR
MWAIT

It would be nice to have the full set :)

And will they be available to use in DMD 0.120?

Yes. The next DMC++ too.
