Yea, but even the below statement gave me errors.


fild [rbp-8]

[rbp -8] is  an m64 type operand right  or is it r/m64 ?

if stack based addressing is not allowed for floating points, that is
just illogical. stack is also in memory unlike registers.

Thanks anyway, i shall try the mulsd instruction however.
