Description

Pops the top two double-precision floating point numbers off of the stack, divides by the top number (i.e. computes value2 / value1), and pushes the double precision quotient result back onto the stack.

Division by zero will result in an infinity result. The division is computed using IEEE 754 round-to-nearest mode and gradual underflow. Standard IEEE arithmetic rules are used for the special NaN, infinity, and zero values.
