8.21.9 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 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.
Traditional mips assemblers do not support these directives.
