  64. <h4 class="subsection">9.27.5 Directives to override the ISA level</h4>
  65. <a name="index-MIPS-ISA-override"></a>
  66. <a name="index-_002eset-mipsn"></a>
  67. <p><small>GNU</small> <code>as</code> supports an additional directive to change
  68. the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture level on the fly: <code>.set
  69. mips<var>n</var></code>. <var>n</var> should be a number from 0 to 5, or 32, 32r2, 32r3,
  70. 32r5, 32r6, 64, 64r2, 64r3, 64r5 or 64r6.
  71. The values other than 0 make the assembler accept instructions
  72. for the corresponding ISA level, from that point on in the
  73. assembly. <code>.set mips<var>n</var></code> affects not only which instructions
  74. are permitted, but also how certain macros are expanded. <code>.set
  75. mips0</code> restores the ISA level to its original level: either the
  76. level you selected with command line options, or the default for your
  77. configuration. You can use this feature to permit specific MIPS III
  78. instructions while assembling in 32 bit mode. Use this directive with
  79. care!
  80. </p>
  81. <a name="index-MIPS-CPU-override"></a>
  82. <a name="index-_002eset-arch_003dcpu"></a>
  83. <p>The <code>.set arch=<var>cpu</var></code> directive provides even finer control.
  84. It changes the effective CPU target and allows the assembler to use
  85. instructions specific to a particular CPU. All CPUs supported by the
  86. &lsquo;<samp>-march</samp>&rsquo; command line option are also selectable by this directive.
  87. The original value is restored by <code>.set arch=default</code>.
  88. </p>
  89. <p>The directive <code>.set mips16</code> puts the assembler into MIPS 16 mode,
  90. in which it will assemble instructions for the MIPS 16 processor. Use
  91. <code>.set nomips16</code> to return to normal 32 bit mode.
  92. </p>
  93. <p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive.
  94. </p>
  95. <p>The directive <code>.set micromips</code> puts the assembler into microMIPS mode,
  96. in which it will assemble instructions for the microMIPS processor. Use
  97. <code>.set nomicromips</code> to return to normal 32 bit mode.
  98. </p>
  99. <p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive.
