[SOLVED] subsd: mismatch in operand sizes

[axper]

Can't understand what I am doing wrong here

Code: [Select]

global main

SECTION .bss
number:
resq    1

SECTION .text
main:
subsd xmm2, qword [rbx]

; Exit
mov rbx, 0
mov rax, 1
int 0x80
Compiling with

Code: [Select]

nasm -felf64 file.asm

The manual says this about subsd:

Subtracts the low double-precision floating-point value in the source operand (second operand) from the low
double-precision floating-point value in the destination operand (first operand), and stores the double-precision
floating-point result in the destination operand. The source operand can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory
location. The destination operand is an XMM register. The high quadword of the destination operand remains
unchanged.

My second operand is a 64-bit memory location. What's wrong here?

Hi!

You have to specify - only a memory location.

It compiles fine without "qword", like this:

Code: [Select]

subsd xmm2,[rbx]

That worked, thank you!

XMM registers are 128 bit, so you have to use oword or nothing.
