1 ------------------------------
1 
1 '.dual'
1      Enter dual instruction mode.  While this directive is supported,
1      the preferred way to use dual instruction mode is to explicitly
1      code the dual bit with the 'd.' prefix.
1 
1 '.enddual'
1      Exit dual instruction mode.  While this directive is supported, the
1      preferred way to use dual instruction mode is to explicitly code
1      the dual bit with the 'd.' prefix.
1 
1 '.atmp'
1      Change the temporary register used when expanding pseudo
1      operations.  The default register is 'r31'.
1 
1    The '.dual', '.enddual', and '.atmp' directives are available only in
1 the Intel syntax mode.
1 
1    Both syntaxes allow for the standard '.align' directive.  However,
1 the Intel syntax additionally allows keywords for the alignment
1 parameter: "'.align type'", where 'type' is one of '.short', '.long',
1 '.quad', '.single', '.double' representing alignments of 2, 4, 16, 4,
1 and 8, respectively.
