| <p>The directives <code>.set push</code> and <code>.set pop</code> may be used to save |
| and restore the current settings for all the options which are |
| controlled by <code>.set</code>. The <code>.set push</code> directive saves the |
| current settings on a stack. The <code>.set pop</code> directive pops the |
| stack and restores the settings. |
| </p> |
| <p>These directives can be useful inside an macro which must change an |
| option such as the ISA level or instruction reordering but does not want |
| to change the state of the code which invoked the macro. |
| </p> |
| <p>Traditional MIPS assemblers do not support these directives. |
