| <p><a name="index-MIPS-directives-to-override-command_002dline-options-1584"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002emodule_007d-1585"></a>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>These module-level directives must appear first in assembly. |
| |
| <p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive. |

| 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>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support this directive. |
