Hello, I am trying to translate this assembler code for Intel 80386 to pascal. I am quite newbie with assembler.
Do you know some source, where are solved examples?

My question to this code:
How can I recognize parameters of procedure.
What exactly does St(1), ST(0) (I found, it will pop a stack ...)
First what I see that at the first line of the code that I have to subtract from ESP(Extended Stack Pointer). I guess some variable a value eight. Then I load from some Float number from absolute adress ...

Hi muffys123,

If you're new to assembly language, this is not a good place to start. I don't think we'll be able to help you. I don't think there's enough information there to translate it to Pascal or anything else. It doesn't look to me as if it'll even run. You subtract 8 from the stack pointer twice, and only add it back once.

I would suggest that you go back to wherever you found that code, and ask there.

There's a tutorial on FPU programming here:
http://www.ray.masmcode.com/fpu.html
It's in Masm syntax, not Nasm. but I think that'll be the least of your worries. Really, this is not a good place to start!

Best,
Frank
