<h4 class="subsection">9.27.13 Directives to override floating-point options</h4>
<p><a name="index-Disable-floating_002dpoint-instructions-1655"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-softfloat_007d-1656"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-hardfloat_007d-1657"></a>The directives <code>.set softfloat</code> and <code>.set hardfloat</code> provide
finer control of disabling and enabling float-point instructions.
These directives always override the default (that hard-float
instructions are accepted) or the command-line options
(&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-msoft-float</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-mhard-float</span></samp>&rsquo;).
<p><a name="index-Disable-single_002dprecision-floating_002dpoint-operations-1658"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-singlefloat_007d-1659"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-doublefloat_007d-1660"></a>The directives <code>.set singlefloat</code> and <code>.set doublefloat</code>
provide finer control of disabling and enabling double-precision
float-point operations. These directives always override the default
(that double-precision operations are accepted) or the command-line
options (&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-msingle-float</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-mdouble-float</span></samp>&rsquo;).
<p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support these directives.
