<h4 class="subsection">9.27.5 Directives to override the ISA level</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-MIPS-ISA-override-1580"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-mips_0040var_007bn_007d_007d-1581"></a><span class="sc">gnu</span> <code>as</code> supports an additional directive to change
|
|
the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture level on the fly: <code>.set
|
|
mips</code><var>n</var>. <var>n</var> should be a number from 0 to 5, or 32, 32r2, 32r3,
|
|
32r5, 32r6, 64, 64r2, 64r3, 64r5 or 64r6.
|
|
The values other than 0 make the assembler accept instructions
|
|
for the corresponding ISA level, from that point on in the
|
|
assembly. <code>.set mips</code><var>n</var> affects not only which instructions
|
|
are permitted, but also how certain macros are expanded. <code>.set
|
|
mips0</code> restores the ISA level to its original level: either the
|
|
level you selected with command-line options, or the default for your
|
|
configuration. You can use this feature to permit specific MIPS III
|
|
instructions while assembling in 32 bit mode. Use this directive with
|
|
care!
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-MIPS-CPU-override-1582"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-arch_003d_0040var_007bcpu_007d_007d-1583"></a>The <code>.set arch=</code><var>cpu</var> directive provides even finer control.
|
|
It changes the effective CPU target and allows the assembler to use
|
|
instructions specific to a particular CPU. All CPUs supported by the
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">-march</span></samp>’ command-line option are also selectable by this directive.
|
|
The original value is restored by <code>.set arch=default</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The directive <code>.set mips16</code> puts the assembler into MIPS 16 mode,
|
|
in which it will assemble instructions for the MIPS 16 processor. Use
|
|
<code>.set nomips16</code> to return to normal 32 bit mode.
|
|
|
|
<p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive.
|
|
|
|
<p>The directive <code>.set micromips</code> puts the assembler into microMIPS mode,
|
|
in which it will assemble instructions for the microMIPS processor. Use
|
|
<code>.set nomicromips</code> to return to normal 32 bit mode.
|
|
|
|
<p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive.
