fstore

store float in local variable

Jasmin Syntax

     fstore <varnum> or     wide     fstore <varnum> 

In the first form, <varnum> is an unsigned integer in the range 0 to 0xFF. In the second (wide) form, <varnum> is an unsigned integer in the range 0 to 0xFFFF.

Description

Pops a single-precision float off the stack and stores it in local variable <varnum>. The fstore instruction takes a single parameter, <varnum>, an unsigned integer which indicates which local variable is used. <varnum> must be a valid local variable number in the current frame.

Example

 fconst_2        ; push 2.0 onto the stack fstore 3        ; pop 2.0 off of the stack and store it in local variable 3 

Bytecode

For local variable numbers in the range 0-255, use:

Type	Description
u1	fstore opcode = 0x38 (56)
u1	<varnum>

There is also a wide format for this instruction, which supports access to all local variables from 0 to 65535:

Type	Description
u1	wide opcode = 0xC4 (196)
u1	fstore opcode = 0x38 (56)
u2	<varnum>
