I know this probably has been asked before, so, please, do *not* send me
to Brennan's tutorial, cause that doesn't help me...
I need a doc that explains the ASM in AT&T, not from Intel to AT&T, and
especially for DJGPP. Interfacing ASM with C, etc.
For example: I know that the suffixes are usually b,l and w. So what is
the 's' in flds, fadds etc? And why can't I do fadds %eax,%ecx ?
Does the FPU (pentium) use a different stack? If not, why can't I pop
the result of fadds %eax from the stack and have to use fsts ?
thanx for anything,
