<h4 class="subsection">9.27.6 Directives to control code generation</h4>

<a name="index-MIPS-directives-to-override-command_002dline-options"></a>
<a name="index-_002emodule"></a>
<p>The <code>.module</code> directive allows command-line options to be set directly
from assembly.  The format of the directive matches the <code>.set</code>
directive but only those options which are relevant to a whole module are
supported.  The effect of a <code>.module</code> directive is the same as the
corresponding command-line option.  Where <code>.set</code> directives support
returning to a default then the <code>.module</code> directives do not as they
define the defaults.
</p>
<p>These module-level directives must appear first in assembly.
</p>
<p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive.

<a name="index-MIPS-32_002dbit-microMIPS-instruction-generation-override"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-insn32"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-noinsn32"></a>
<p>The directive <code>.set insn32</code> makes the assembler only use 32-bit
instruction encodings when generating code for the microMIPS processor.
This directive inhibits the use of any 16-bit instructions from that
point on in the assembly.  The <code>.set noinsn32</code> directive allows
16-bit instructions to be accepted.
</p>
<p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive.
