Re:Parsing can become accidentally quadratic because of sscanf by firebacon on Monday March 01, 2021 @03:43PM (#26308124)
You don't need any specific instructions. The hex encoded double contains the final binary representation of the floating point number. So no conversion is required to load it, except maybe for swapping around bytes on some architectures. Conceptually:

    double v;
    memcpy(&v, "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xe4\x94\x40", sizeof(v)); // LE
