| |
| <p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-autoextend_007d-1589"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_002eset-noautoextend_007d-1590"></a>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>This directive is only meaningful when in MIPS 16 mode. Traditional |
| MIPS assemblers do not support this directive. |
