Description
Divides the source operand by the destination operand and stores the result in the
destination location. The destination operand (divisor) is always in an FPU register; the
source operand (dividend) can be a register or a memory location. Source operands in
memory can be in single-real, double-real, word-integer, or short-integer formats.
These instructions perform the reverse operations of the FDIV, FDIVP, and FIDIV
instructions. They are provided to support more efficient coding.
The no-operand version of the instruction divides the contents of the ST(0) register by
the contents of the ST(1) register. The one-operand version divides the contents of a
memory location (either a real or an integer value) by the contents of the ST(0)
register. The two-operand version, divides the contents of the ST(i) register by the
contents of the ST(0) register or vice versa.
The FDIVRP instructions perform the additional operation of popping the FPU register
stack after storing the result. To pop the register stack, the processor marks the ST(0)
register as empty and increments the stack pointer (TOP) by 1. The no-operand version
of the floating-point divide instructions always results in the register stack being
popped. In some assemblers, the mnemonic for this instruction is FDIVR rather than
FDIVRP.
The FIDIVR instructions convert an integer source operand to extended-real format
before performing the division.
If an unmasked divide by zero exception (#Z) is generated, no result is stored; if the
exception is masked, an  of the appropriate sign is stored in the destination operand.
The following table shows the results obtained when dividing various classes of
numbers, assuming that neither overflow nor underflow occurs.
