–1
Description
Computes the exponential value of 2 to the power of the source operand minus 1.
The source operand is located in register ST(0) and the result is also stored in ST(0).
The value of the source operand must lie in the range –1.0 to +1.0. If the source value
The source operand is located in register ST(0) and the result is also stored in ST(0).
The value of the source operand must lie in the range –1.0 to +1.0. If the source value
is outside this range, the result is undefined.
The following table shows the results obtained when computing the exponential
value of various classes of numbers, assuming that neither overflow nor underflow
occurs.

This instruction’s operation is the same in non-64-bit modes and 64-bit mode.
Operation
ST(0) ← (2

− 1);
FPU Flags Affected
C1
Set to 0 if stack underflow occurred.
Set if result was rounded up; cleared otherwise.
Set if result was rounded up; cleared otherwise.
C0, C2, C3
Undefined.
Floating-Point Exceptions
#IS
Stack underflow occurred.
#IA
Source operand is an SNaN value or unsupported format.
#D
