dq arrays usage

[Joao Batista]

ok so this worked:

Code Select Expand


array dq 5 dup(1.5)
i dd 8
result dq 2.5
pos dd ?
avalue dq 0.0
sum dq 1.0

.code
start:

mov ebx,offset array
add ebx, i

FLD qword ptr [ebx]
FSTP avalue
FLD avalue
FLD sum
FADD
FSTP qword ptr[ebx]

mov ebx,offset array
add ebx, i

FLD qword ptr [ebx]
FSTP avalue
FLD avalue


FLD result
FCOM
fstsw ax
sahf
JE PRINTOK
JMP PRINTNAK



i'm still not sure if i can get i as a dd from the user (cause it may be double result from another arithmetic expression) .. so .. in case i can't .. is there a way i can use a dq as a dd ?

something like dword ptr[dqvar] ?

you can convert the double value to an integer using FIST[P] (as long as the value is in range of an integer).

the ADD EBX,1 doesn't look right
and - if you did want that, you could just use MOV EBX,offset Array+1
but - you don't - lol

this part looks ok, but i would suggest REAL8 PTR

Code Select Expand

FLD qword ptr [ebx]

Code Select Expand

FLD real8 ptr [ebx]
it helps the readability - now, you know at a glance that you are loading a REAL8

generally, i might use QWORD PTR if i were loading an integer

Code Select Expand

FILD qword ptr [ebx]
loads an 8-byte integer

mm yeah.. apparently i can't scape of the fact that i need a dd at some point, so i'll just modify my java code, i think it will be easier.

Thanks again guys.. thanks for your help!
