9.24.10 Directives to override floating-point options

The directives .set softfloat and .set hardfloat 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 (`-msoft-float' and `-mhard-float').

The directives .set singlefloat and .set doublefloat 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 (`-msingle-float' and `-mdouble-float').

Traditional mips assemblers do not support these directives.
