<h4 class="subsection">9.27.7 Directives for extending MIPS 16 bit instructions</h4>

<a name="index-_002eset-autoextend"></a>
<a name="index-_002eset-noautoextend"></a>
<p>By default, MIPS 16 instructions are automatically extended to 32 bits
when necessary.  The directive <code>.set noautoextend</code> will turn this
off.  When <code>.set noautoextend</code> is in effect, any 32 bit instruction
must be explicitly extended with the <code>.e</code> modifier (e.g.,
<code>li.e $4,1000</code>).  The directive <code>.set autoextend</code> may be used
to once again automatically extend instructions when necessary.
</p>
<p>This directive is only meaningful when in MIPS 16 mode.  Traditional
MIPS assemblers do not support this directive.
