FLDCW Load control word Exceptions: None C3 C2 C1 C0: ? ? ? ? FLDCW source
Logic control word ← source
FLDCW replaces the current value of the FPU control word register with the value contained in the specified memory word; it is used to change the FPU's mode of operation, e.g. rounding control.
Note If an exception bit in the status word is set, loading a new control word will produce a floating-point error condition. To avoid this problem, any pending exceptions should be cleared (for example, by using FCLEX) before loading the new control word.
