--- Comment #6 from Srikanth <nasika.srikanth1 at gmail dot com> --- int main() { float m=12 m?printf("true"):printf("false"); m=0; m?printf("true"):printf("false"); } and above is the assemble code generated from the source file .. when i seeing the assemble code i just recognize that float variable was loading twice during the conditional checking that's what my doubt ? please tell me why after comparison of parity flag for NAN or not,directly we can check for zero flag for zero or not.But the generated assemble code in #comment 3 ,after comparison of parity flag it again loading the same variable into the FPU stack and again comparing with zero and checking for zero flag and goes to true or false statment why?
