| <p><a name="index-Disable-floating_002dpoint-instructions-1415"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-softfloat_007d-1416"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-hardfloat_007d-1417"></a>The directives <code>.set softfloat</code> and <code>.set hardfloat</code> provide |
| finer control of disabling and enabling float-point instructions. |
| These directives always override the default (that hard-float |
| instructions are accepted) or the command-line options |
| (‘<samp><span class="samp">-msoft-float</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">-mhard-float</span></samp>’). |

| <p><a name="index-Disable-single_002dprecision-floating_002dpoint-operations-1418"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-singlefloat_007d-1419"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-doublefloat_007d-1420"></a>The directives <code>.set singlefloat</code> and <code>.set doublefloat</code> |
| provide finer control of disabling and enabling double-precision |
| float-point operations. These directives always override the default |
| (that double-precision operations are accepted) or the command-line |
| options (‘<samp><span class="samp">-msingle-float</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">-mdouble-float</span></samp>’). |
| |
| <p>Traditional <span class="sc">mips</span> assemblers do not support these directives. |
