Making programs that play around with floats and doubles, and using gcc
with the -S options, I was able to study the asm code and realized that
about the only difference is the suffixes loading and unloading
s - float
l - double
flds - load a float or load a float as a double
fldl - load a double
filds - load a short as a float or a double
fildl - load a long as a float or a double
and so on.
so anyway, I think I have it figured out now.
