NAME

math.ops - Mathematical Opcodes

DESCRIPTION

Operations that perform basic mathematics. See src/dynoplibs/ for more advanced operations.

When making changes to any ops file, run make bootstrap-ops to regenerate all generated ops files.

Arithmetic operations

These operations store the results of arithmetic on other registers and constants into their destination register, $1.

abs(inout INT)

abs(inout NUM)

abs(invar PMC)

Set $1 to its absolute value.

abs(out INT, in INT)

abs(out NUM, in NUM)

abs(out PMC, invar PMC)

Set $1 to absolute value of $2.

add(inout INT, in INT)

add(inout NUM, in NUM)

add(invar PMC, invar PMC)

add(invar PMC, in INT)

add(invar PMC, in NUM)

Increase $1 by the amount in $2.

add(out INT, in INT, in INT)

add(out NUM, in NUM, in NUM)

add(invar PMC, invar PMC, invar PMC)

add(invar PMC, invar PMC, in INT)

add(invar PMC, invar PMC, in NUM)

Set $1 to the sum of $2 and $3.

dec(inout INT)

dec(inout NUM)

dec(invar PMC)

Decrease $1 by one.

div(inout INT, in INT)

div(inout NUM, in NUM)

div(invar PMC, invar PMC)

div(invar PMC, in INT)

div(invar PMC, in NUM)

Divide $1 by $2.

div(out INT, in INT, in INT)

div(out NUM, in NUM, in NUM)

div(invar PMC, invar PMC, invar PMC)

div(invar PMC, invar PMC, in INT)

div(invar PMC, invar PMC, in NUM)

Set $1 to the quotient of $2 divided by $3. In the case of INTVAL division, the result is truncated (NOT rounded or floored). If the denominator is zero, a 'Divide by zero' exception is thrown.

fdiv(inout INT, in INT)

fdiv(inout NUM, in NUM)

fdiv(invar PMC, invar PMC)

fdiv(invar PMC, in INT)

fdiv(invar PMC, in NUM)

Floor divide $1 by $2.

fdiv(out INT, in INT, in INT)

fdiv(out NUM, in NUM, in NUM)

fdiv(invar PMC, invar PMC, invar PMC)

fdiv(invar PMC, invar PMC, in INT)

fdiv(invar PMC, invar PMC, in NUM)

Set $1 to the quotient of $2 divided by $3. The result is the floor() of the division i.e. the next whole integer towards -inf. If the denominator is zero, a 'Divide by zero' exception is thrown.

ceil(inout NUM)

Set $1 to the smallest integral value greater than or equal to $1.

ceil(out INT, in NUM)

ceil(out NUM, in NUM)

Set $1 to the smallest integral value greater than or equal to $2.

floor(inout NUM)

Set $1 to the largest integral value less than or equal to $1.

floor(out INT, in NUM)

floor(out NUM, in NUM)

Set $1 to the largest integral value less than or equal to $2.On Inf or NaN an integer cannot represent the result, so throw a LOSSY_CONVERSION exception.

inc(inout INT)

inc(inout NUM)

inc(invar PMC)

Increase $1 by one.

mod(out INT, in INT, in INT)

mod(out NUM, in NUM, in NUM)

mod(invar PMC, invar PMC, invar PMC)

mod(invar PMC, invar PMC, in INT)

mod(invar PMC, invar PMC, in NUM)

Sets $1 to the modulus of $2 and $3.

mod(inout INT, in INT)

mod(inout NUM, in NUM)

mod(invar PMC, invar PMC)

mod(invar PMC, in INT)

mod(invar PMC, in NUM)

Sets $1 to the modulus of $1 and $2.NOTE: This "corrected mod" algorithm is based on the C code on page 70 of [1]. Assuming correct behavior of the built-in mod operator (%) with positive arguments, this algorithm implements a mathematically convenient version of mod, defined thus:

  x mod y = x - y * floor(x / y)

For more information on this definition of mod, see section 3.4 of [2], pages 81-85.References:
