This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

FPLib v1.20 - Floating Point Assembler From Basic ~~~~~~~~~~~ This file explains how to use the floating point assembler provided. For full information on the floating point instruction set see the Acorn PRM. FPLib allows floating point instructions and constants to be assembled using the BASIC V assembler. Most of the options and syntax is supported, as shown below. Programs assembled with floating point instructions must ensure that the floating point emulator is loaded before use. Requirements ------------ The following annotated example shows the requirements. LIBRARY"FPLib" Access FPLib DIM code% 1024 Use any name PROCfpinit MUST be called prior to assembly FOR asm=4 TO 7 STEP 3 asm MUST be control variable P%=0:O%=code% Offset assembly is supported if required [OPT asm FNfp("LDFD F0,double") Define a float instruction FNfp("ADFEQD F0,F1,F2") F0=F1+F2 if previous compare = .var FNfp("DFS 4.723e23") Define a float contstant ]:NEXT Operands of instructions may refer to BASIC variables or program locations as well as hard coded numbers. Float constant operands can only refer to a number, not a BASIC variable or expression. To use a variable use this form: FNfp("DFE "+STR$(number)) where number is a previously defined variable A reasonable level of syntax checking is performed, but FPLib is not very tolerant of mistakes. Syntax And Instruction Set -------------------------- Floating point numbers are supported in 4 formats: single S (4 bytes) with 9 digits of precision, exponent +/- 54 double D (8 bytes) with 17 digits of precision, exponent +/- 340 extended E (12 bytes) with full internal precision, exponent +/- 999 packed P (12 bytes) with 17 digits of precision In most instructions the precision must be specified. P is only used for storing and loading. There are 8 floating point registers which are called F0 to F7 by FPLib. In the following <cond> is an optional condition (the standard ARM instruction conditions), and prec is the precision letter from above. Load/Store: LDF<cond>prec Fd,addr Load a float from address STF<cond>prec Fd,addr Store a float to address addr is [Rn]<,#offset> or [Rn,#offset]<!> ie. as per LDR/STR addr may also be a program location in which case FPLib will calculate the address as +/- from R15. Offsets must be within +/- 1020 bytes. eg. LDFD F0,double Load a double STFE F2,[R1,#0] Store at R1 location LDFS F4,[R2],#8 load double from R2, then bump R2 past double Binary Ops: binop<cond>prec Fd,Fn,Fm|#value where binop can be: ADF Add Fd=Fn+Fm MUF Multiply Fd=Fn*Fm SUF Subtract Fd=Fn-Fm RSF Reverse Subtract Fd=Fm-Fn DVF Divide Fd=Fn/Fm RDF Reverse Divide Fd=Fm/Fn POW Power Fd=Fn to the power of Fm RPW Reverse Power Fd=Fm to the power of Fn RMF Remainder Fd=remainder of Fn/Fm FML Fast multiply Fd=Fn*Fm FDV Fast divide Fd=Fn/Fm FRD Fast reverse divide Fd=Fm/Fn POL Polar Angle Fd=polar angle of(Fn,Fm) The fast instructions compute to single precision only. value can be 0.5, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10. eg. ADF F7,F4,F5 ADF F3,F2,#2 Unary Ops: unyop<cond>prec Fd,Fm|#value where unyop can be: MVF Move Fd=Fm MNF Move negated Fd=-Fm ABS Absolute Fd=ABS(Fm) RND Round to integral Fd=integer value of Fm SQT Square root Fd=square root of Fm LOG Logarithm base 10 Fd=log10 of Fm LGN Logarithm base e Fd=loge of Fm EXP Exponent Fd=e to the power of Fm SIN Sine Fd=sine of Fm COS Cosine Fd=cosine of Fm TAN Tangent Fd=tangent of Fm ASN Arc sine Fd=arcsine of Fm ACS Arc cosine Fd=arccosine of Fm ATN Arc tangent Fd=arctangent of Fm eg. MVF F0,#0 Zeroise float register Register Transfer: FLT<cond>prec Fn,Rd Integer to floating point FIX<cond>prec Rd,Fm Floating point to integer WFS<cond> Rd write floating point status RFS<cond> Rd read floating point status WFC<cond> Rd write floating point control RFC<cond> Rd read floating point control Refer to the PRM for the floating point status bit settings. Nb. *MEMORYI incorrectly dis-assembles the FLT Fn operand. Status Transfer: CMF<cond>prec Fn,Fm|#value compare Fn with Fm CNF<cond>prec Fn,Fm|#value compare Fn with -Fm CME<cond>prec Fn,Fm|#value compare with exception CNE<cond>prec Fn,Fm|#value compare negated with exception Use the standard branches after compares. Acorn recommends the use of CMF/CNF with BEQ/BNE, and CME/CNE for others (BGE/BGT/BLT/BLE). Nb. The PRM incorrectly displays the operands as Fm,Fn. Constants --------- DFS number Define a single precision constant - 4 bytes DFD number Define a double precision constant - 8 bytes DFE number Define an extended precision constant - 12 bytes DFP number Define a constant in packed format - 12 bytes Conversion Routines ------------------- Two conversion routines are provided which can be assembled into your program. PROCstrtofp(addr%) Assembles a string to float routine at location addr% PROCfptostr(addr%) Assembles a float to string routine at location addr% 300 bytes are required to assemble each routine at the address provided. string_to_float: call this routine to convert an ASCII number to a float. The number can have leading spaces, and may be in standard (1234.5678) or scientific format (1.23e24). No check is made for invalid numbers (ie. too big). On entry to the routine registers must be: R0: address of control-terminated numeric string R1: address of target converted number (4,8 or 12 bytes) R2: float type: 0=Single, 1=Double, 2=Extended, 3=Packed Conversion is terminated as soon as an invalid character is detected, and the result so far is returned. float_to_string: call this routine to convert a float into ASCII format. The number is converted into scientific format with 16 decimal places (ie 17 digits precision), with +/- signs as required. Registers on entry should be: R0: address of float number R1: address of converted string - 26 bytes are required R2: float type: 0=Single, 1=Double, 2=Extended, 3=Packed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Curnow, 22/07/91
