1 9.27.13 Directives to override floating-point options
1 -----------------------------------------------------
1
1 The directives '.set softfloat' and '.set hardfloat' provide finer
1 control of disabling and enabling float-point instructions. These
1 directives always override the default (that hard-float instructions are
1 accepted) or the command-line options ('-msoft-float' and
1 '-mhard-float').
1
1 The directives '.set singlefloat' and '.set doublefloat' provide
1 finer control of disabling and enabling double-precision float-point
1 operations. These directives always override the default (that
1 double-precision operations are accepted) or the command-line options
1 ('-msingle-float' and '-mdouble-float').
1
1 Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support these directives.
