</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-mgp32</code></dt>
<dt><code>-mfp32</code></dt>
<dd><p>Some macros have different expansions for 32-bit and 64-bit registers.
The register sizes are normally inferred from the ISA and ABI, but these
flags force a certain group of registers to be treated as 32 bits wide at
all times.  &lsquo;<samp>-mgp32</samp>&rsquo; controls the size of general-purpose registers
and &lsquo;<samp>-mfp32</samp>&rsquo; controls the size of floating-point registers.
</p>
<p>The <code>.set gp=32</code> and <code>.set fp=32</code> directives allow the size
of registers to be changed for parts of an object. The default value is
restored by <code>.set gp=default</code> and <code>.set fp=default</code>.
</p>
<p>On some MIPS variants there is a 32-bit mode flag; when this flag is
set, 64-bit instructions generate a trap.  Also, some 32-bit OSes only
save the 32-bit registers on a context switch, so it is essential never
to use the 64-bit registers.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-mgp64</code></dt>
<dt><code>-mfp64</code></dt>
<dd><p>Assume that 64-bit registers are available.  This is provided in the
interests of symmetry with &lsquo;<samp>-mgp32</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>-mfp32</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>The <code>.set gp=64</code> and <code>.set fp=64</code> directives allow the size
of registers to be changed for parts of an object. The default value is
restored by <code>.set gp=default</code> and <code>.set fp=default</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-mfpxx</code></dt>
<dd><p>Make no assumptions about whether 32-bit or 64-bit floating-point
registers are available. This is provided to support having modules
compatible with either &lsquo;<samp>-mfp32</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>-mfp64</samp>&rsquo;. This option can
only be used with MIPS II and above.
</p>
<p>The <code>.set fp=xx</code> directive allows a part of an object to be marked
as not making assumptions about 32-bit or 64-bit FP registers.  The
default value is restored by <code>.set fp=default</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-modd-spreg</code></dt>
<dt><code>-mno-odd-spreg</code></dt>
<dd><p>Enable use of floating-point operations on odd-numbered single-precision
registers when supported by the ISA.  &lsquo;<samp>-mfpxx</samp>&rsquo; implies
&lsquo;<samp>-mno-odd-spreg</samp>&rsquo;, otherwise the default is &lsquo;<samp>-modd-spreg</samp>&rsquo;

</dd>
<dt><code>-msmartmips</code></dt>
<dt><code>-mno-smartmips</code></dt>
<dd><p>Enables the SmartMIPS extensions to the MIPS32 instruction set, which
provides a number of new instructions which target smartcard and
cryptographic applications.  This is equivalent to putting

will involve further instructions for address calculation.

be relaxed with the use of a longer sequence involving another branch,
however this has not been implemented and if their target turns out of
reach, they produce an error even if branch relaxation is enabled.

<dt><code>-mignore-branch-isa</code></dt>
<dt><code>-mno-ignore-branch-isa</code></dt>
<dd><p>Ignore branch checks for invalid transitions between ISA modes.
</p>
<p>The semantics of branches does not provide for an ISA mode switch, so in
most cases the ISA mode a branch has been encoded for has to be the same
as the ISA mode of the branch&rsquo;s target label.  If the ISA modes do not
match, then such a branch, if taken, will cause the ISA mode to remain
unchanged and instructions that follow will be executed in the wrong ISA
mode causing the program to misbehave or crash.
</p>
<p>In the case of the <code>BAL</code> instruction it may be possible to relax
it to an equivalent <code>JALX</code> instruction so that the ISA mode is
switched at the run time as required.  For other branches no relaxation
is possible and therefore GAS has checks implemented that verify in
branch assembly that the two ISA modes match, and report an error
otherwise so that the problem with code can be diagnosed at the assembly
time rather than at the run time.
</p>
<p>However some assembly code, including generated code produced by some
versions of GCC, may incorrectly include branches to data labels, which
appear to require a mode switch but are either dead or immediately
followed by valid instructions encoded for the same ISA the branch has
been encoded for.  While not strictly correct at the source level such
code will execute as intended, so to help with these cases
&lsquo;<samp>-mignore-branch-isa</samp>&rsquo; is supported which disables ISA mode checks
for branches.
</p>
<p>By default &lsquo;<samp>-mno-ignore-branch-isa</samp>&rsquo; is selected, causing any invalid
branch requiring a transition between ISA modes to produce an error.
