# FBLD — Load Binary Coded Decimal

Opcode | Instruction | 64-Bit Mode | Compat/Leg Mode | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
DF /4 | FBLD m80bcd | Valid | Valid | Convert BCD value to floating-point and push onto the FPU stack.

## Description ¶

Converts the BCD source operand into double extended-precision floating-point format and pushes the value onto the FPU stack. The source operand is loaded without rounding errors. The sign of the source operand is preserved, including that of −0.

The packed BCD digits are assumed to be in the range 0 through 9; the instruction does not check for invalid digits (AH through FH). Attempting to load an invalid encoding produces an undefined result.

This instruction’s operation is the same in non-64-bit modes and 64-bit mode.

## Operation ¶

    TOP := TOP − 1;
    ST(0) := ConvertToDoubleExtendedPrecisionFP(SRC);

## FPU Flags Affected ¶

C1 | Set to 1 if stack overflow occurred; otherwise, set to 0.
C0, C2, C3 | Undefined.

## Floating-Point Exceptions ¶

#IS | Stack overflow occurred.

## Protected Mode Exceptions ¶

#GP(0) | If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
If the DS, ES, FS, or GS register contains a NULL segment selector.
#SS(0) | If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#NM | CR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#PF(fault-code) | If a page fault occurs.
#AC(0) | If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used.

## Real-Address Mode Exceptions ¶

#GP | If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#SS | If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#NM | CR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used.

## Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions ¶

#GP(0) | If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#SS(0) | If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#NM | CR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#PF(fault-code) | If a page fault occurs.
#AC(0) | If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made.
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used.

## Compatibility Mode Exceptions ¶

Same exceptions as in protected mode.

## 64-Bit Mode Exceptions ¶

#SS(0) | If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form.
#GP(0) | If the memory address is in a non-canonical form.
#NM | CR0.EM[bit 2] or CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#MF | If there is a pending x87 FPU exception.
#PF(fault-code) | If a page fault occurs.
#AC(0) | If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used.
