9.26.12 Directives to control generation of MIPS ASE instructions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The directive '.set mips3d' makes the assembler accept instructions from
the MIPS-3D Application Specific Extension from that point on in the
assembly. The '.set nomips3d' directive prevents MIPS-3D instructions
from being accepted.
The directive '.set smartmips' makes the assembler accept
instructions from the SmartMIPS Application Specific Extension to the
MIPS32 ISA from that point on in the assembly. The '.set nosmartmips'
directive prevents SmartMIPS instructions from being accepted.
The directive '.set mdmx' makes the assembler accept instructions
from the MDMX Application Specific Extension from that point on in the
assembly. The '.set nomdmx' directive prevents MDMX instructions from
being accepted.
The directive '.set dsp' makes the assembler accept instructions from
the DSP Release 1 Application Specific Extension from that point on in
the assembly. The '.set nodsp' directive prevents DSP Release 1
instructions from being accepted.
The directive '.set dspr2' makes the assembler accept instructions
from the DSP Release 2 Application Specific Extension from that point on
in the assembly. This directive implies '.set dsp'. The '.set nodspr2'
directive prevents DSP Release 2 instructions from being accepted.
The directive '.set dspr3' makes the assembler accept instructions
from the DSP Release 3 Application Specific Extension from that point on
in the assembly. This directive implies '.set dsp' and '.set dspr2'.
The '.set nodspr3' directive prevents DSP Release 3 instructions from
being accepted.
The directive '.set mt' makes the assembler accept instructions from
the MT Application Specific Extension from that point on in the
assembly. The '.set nomt' directive prevents MT instructions from being
accepted.
The directive '.set mcu' makes the assembler accept instructions from
the MCU Application Specific Extension from that point on in the
assembly. The '.set nomcu' directive prevents MCU instructions from
being accepted.
The directive '.set msa' makes the assembler accept instructions from
the MIPS SIMD Architecture Extension from that point on in the assembly.
The '.set nomsa' directive prevents MSA instructions from being
accepted.
The directive '.set virt' makes the assembler accept instructions
from the Virtualization Application Specific Extension from that point
on in the assembly. The '.set novirt' directive prevents Virtualization
instructions from being accepted.
The directive '.set xpa' makes the assembler accept instructions from
the XPA Extension from that point on in the assembly. The '.set noxpa'
directive prevents XPA instructions from being accepted.
The directive '.set mips16e2' makes the assembler accept instructions
from the MIPS16e2 Application Specific Extension from that point on in
the assembly, whenever in MIPS16 mode. The '.set nomips16e2' directive
prevents MIPS16e2 instructions from being accepted, in MIPS16 mode.
Neither directive affects the state of MIPS16 mode being active itself
which has separate controls.
The directive '.set crc' makes the assembler accept instructions from
the CRC Extension from that point on in the assembly. The '.set nocrc'
directive prevents CRC instructions from being accepted.
The directive '.set ginv' makes the assembler accept instructions
from the GINV Extension from that point on in the assembly. The '.set
noginv' directive prevents GINV instructions from being accepted.
The directive '.set loongson-mmi' makes the assembler accept
instructions from the MMI Extension from that point on in the assembly.
The '.set noloongson-mmi' directive prevents MMI instructions from being
accepted.
The directive '.set loongson-cam' makes the assembler accept
instructions from the Loongson CAM from that point on in the assembly.
The '.set noloongson-cam' directive prevents Loongson CAM instructions
from being accepted.
The directive '.set loongson-ext' makes the assembler accept
instructions from the Loongson EXT from that point on in the assembly.
The '.set noloongson-ext' directive prevents Loongson EXT instructions
from being accepted.
The directive '.set loongson-ext2' makes the assembler accept
instructions from the Loongson EXT2 from that point on in the assembly.
This directive implies '.set loognson-ext'. The '.set noloongson-ext2'
directive prevents Loongson EXT2 instructions from being accepted.
Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support these directives.
