ASMLIB floating-point data subroutines (c) copyright 1991 Douglas Herr
all rights reserved

ASMLIB recognizes two floating point formats: IEEE-standard single-
precision, and IEEE-standard double-precision.  Single-precision
floating point numbers are 4 bytes long, and are referred to as float4
or simply f4, while double-precision floating point numbers are 8 bytes
long, which I describe as float8 or f8.

ADDF4:     add two float4 values
Source:    addf4.asm

80x87 not required

Call with: DS:[SI] pointing to value0, ES:[DI] pointing to value1
           both values must be float4 values in IEEE format
Returns:   if CF = 0, value0 is replaced by the sum
           if CF = 1, the sum would result in an overflow; neither
           value is changed
Uses:      CF

Example:

include asm.inc

extrn addf4:proc

.data
value0  dd 123.456
value1  dd -67.4

.code
; program fragment assumes DS:@data
         .

        assume  es:@data
        lea     si,value0
        lea     di,value1
        call    addf4

; note that this can be used for subtraction by changing the sign
; of one of the values
;
; changing the sign is trivial: if DS:[SI] points to a float4 value,
; the sign is changed with
;
;      xor    byte ptr 3[si],10000000b

                   float4 value unchanged in this case
Uses:       CF; all other flags and all registers saved
Example:

include asm.inc

.code
; program fragment assumes DS:@data
        .
        .
        .
        lea   si,float4data
        mov   al,3             ; scale by (2^3) effectively multiplies by 8
        call  scalef4
        jc    oops             ; take remedial action if error

SCALEF8:    scale a float8 value by an integer power of 2
Source:     scalef8.asm

80x87 not required

Call with:  DS:[SI] pointing to the float8 data
            AL = scale factor (may be positive or negative)
Returns:    CF = 0 if success: float8 value was properly scaled
            CF = 1 if error: resulting float8 value would have overflowed
                   float8 value unchanged in this case
Uses:       CF; all other flags and all registers saved
Example:

include asm.inc

.code
; program fragment assumes DS:@data
        .
        .
        .
        lea   si,float8data
        mov   al,3             ; scale by (2^3) effectively multiplies by 8
        call  scalef8
        jc    oops             ; take remedial action if error

SORTF4HI:    sort an array of single-precision real numbers, highest first
Source:      sortf4hi.asm

SORTF4LO:    sort an array of single-precision real numbers, lowest first
Source:      sortf4lo.asm

80x87 not required

Call with:  ES:[DI] pointing to the first of the array elements to be
            sorted, CX = number of array elements
Returns:    nothing
Uses:       nothing; all registers and flags are saved
Example:

include asm.inc

extrn  sortf4hi:proc

.data
floatdata   dd 1500 dup(0)

.code
; program fragment assumes DS:@data
; program provides values for the array
        .
        .
        push    ds
        pop     es
        assume  es:@data
        lea     di,floatdata
        mov     cx,1500           ; sort entire array
        call    sortf4hi          ; highest value first

SUBF4:       subtract one float4 value from another
Source:      subf4.asm (addf4.asm)

SUBF8:       subtract one float8 value from another
Source:      subf8.asm (addf8.asm)

80x87 not required

Call with:   DS:[SI] pointing to value0
             ES:[DI] pointing to value1
             the number at ES:[DI] is subtracted from the number at DS:[SI]
             with the result replacing the number at DS:[SI]
Returns:     if CF = 0, DS:[SI] points to value0 - value1
             if CF = 1, the operation would result in an overflow;
                neither value is changed
Uses:        nothing; all registers and flags are saved
Example:

include asm.inc

extrn subf4:proc

.data
value0  dd 123.456
value1  dd -67.4

.code
; program fragment assumes DS:@data
         .
