This document describes the <file>MMX</file> unit. This unit allows you to use the
<var>MMX</var> capabilities of the Free Pascal compiler. It was written by Florian
Klaempfl for the <var>I386</var> processor. It should work on all platforms that
use the Intel processor.

<element name="Emms">
<short>Reset floating point registers</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>Emms</var> sets all floating point registers to empty. This procedure must
be called after you have used any <var>MMX</var> instructions, if you want to use
floating point arithmetic. If you just want to move floating point data
around, it isn't necessary to call this function, the compiler doesn't use
the FPU registers when moving data. Only when doing calculations, you should
use this function. The following code demonstrates this:
</p>
<code>
Program MMXDemo;
uses mmx;
var
d1 : double;
a : array[0..10000] of double;
i : longint;
begin
d1:=1.0;
{$mmx+}
{ floating point data is used, but we do _no_ arithmetic }
for i:=0 to 10000 do
a[i]:=d2; { this is done with 64 bit moves }
{$mmx-}
emms; { clear fpu }
{ now we can do floating point arithmetic again }
end.
</code>

processors. it is not supported by all assemblers, hence it is coded as byte
codes.
