| <h4 class="subsubsection">9.27.9.3 Automatic selection of FP ABI</h4> |
| <a name="index-_002emodule-fp_003dnn-directive_002c-MIPS"></a> |
| <p>In order to simplify and add safety to the process of selecting the |
| correct floating-point ABI, the assembler will automatically infer the |
| correct <code>.gnu_attribute 4, <var>n</var></code> directive based on command line |
| options and <code>.module</code> overrides. Where an explicit |
| <code>.gnu_attribute 4, <var>n</var></code> directive has been seen then a warning |
| will be raised if it does not match an inferred setting. |
| </p> |
| <p>The floating-point ABI is inferred as follows. If ‘<samp>-msoft-float</samp>’ |
| has been used the module will be marked as soft-float. If |
| ‘<samp>-msingle-float</samp>’ has been used then the module will be marked as |
| single-precision. The remaining ABIs are then selected based |
| on the FP register width. Double-precision is selected if the width |
| of GP and FP registers match and the special double-precision variants |
| for 32-bit ABIs are then selected depending on ‘<samp>-mfpxx</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>-mfp64</samp>’ and ‘<samp>-mno-odd-spreg</samp>’. |
