22 // fcomp qword ptr [nan]

24 // test ah,40h // test bit 14 of ax (0x4000) => C3 of fp status register

26 // the C2 bit should be tested to test for NaN value.

28 // In Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 & 2005, the test is implemented with:
29 // test ah,44h // Visual Studio 2005 test both C2 & C3...
