smul

Forms

smul = 69 (0x45)

Stack

…, value1, value2 → …, result

Description

Both value1 and value2 must be of type short. The values are popped from the operand stack. The short result is value1 * value2. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.

If a smul instruction overflows, then the result is the low-order bits of the mathematical product as a short. If overflow occurs, then the sign of the result may not be the same as the sign of the mathematical product of the two values.
