Hello, B. LESCOUET!

FSTCW command - store FPU control word to m2byte after checking for
pending unmasked floating-point exceptions.
AFAIK - more safe code.

Subject: [IBO] Assembler in IBObjects source code

Hi all,

In IBObjects source code, the calls of Firebird API is enclosed between
code lines in assembler : "asm fstcw [SaveCW] end;" and "asm fldcw
[SaveCW] end;".
I'm not specialized in assembler : can anyone give me an explanation on
what this statments are doing, and why they are placed here ?

Thanks

B. LESCOUET
