+# Floating-point operations
+
+All the instructions so far use Intel's general-purpose integer registers.
+However, some of them translate to different SubX if their arguments are in
+floating-point registers.

+
+Remember, when these instructions use indirect mode, they still use an integer
+register. Floating-point registers can't hold addresses.
+
+Most instructions operate exclusively on integer or floating-point operands.
+The only exceptions are the instructions for converting between integers and
+floating-point numbers.
+
+var/xreg <- convert var2/reg2     => "f3 0f 2a/convert-to-float %" reg2 " " xreg "/x32"
+var/xreg <- convert var2          => "f3 0f 2a/convert-to-float *(ebp+" var2.stack-offset ") " xreg "/x32"

+var/reg <- convert var2           => "f3 0f 2d/convert-to-int *(ebp+" var2.stack-offset ") " reg "/r32"
+var/reg <- convert *var2/reg2     => "f3 0f 2d/convert-to-int *" reg2 " " reg "/r32"
+
+There are no instructions accepting floating-point literals. To obtain integer
+literals in floating-point registers, copy them to general-purpose registers
+and then convert them to floating-point.
+
+One pattern you may have noticed above is that the floating-point instructions
+above always write to registers. The only exceptions are `copy` instructions,
+which can write to memory locations.
+
+var/xreg <- copy var2/xreg2       => "f3 0f 11/<- 3/mod " xreg "/xm32 " xreg2 "/x32"
+copy-to var1, var2/xreg           => "f3 0f 11/<- *(ebp+" var1.stack-offset ") " xreg "/x32"
+var/xreg <- copy var2             => "f3 0f 10/-> *(ebp+" var2.stack-offset ") " xreg "/x32"
+var/xreg <- copy *var2/reg2       => "f3 0f 10/-> *" reg2 " " xreg "/x32"
+
+Comparisons must always start with a register:
+
+compare var1/xreg1, var2/xreg2    => "0f 2f 3/mod " xreg2 "/xm32 " xreg1 "/x32"
+compare var1/xreg1, var2          => "0f 2f 2/mod *(ebp+" var2.stack-offset ") " xreg1 "/x32"
