« on: April 26, 2024, 01:48:31 pm »
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. .set macro
  2.         ... code ...
  3. .set nomacro
  4.

it means that the {$macro on} switch is in effect/not in effect?

Due to censorship, I changed this to "Nelly the Elephant". Keeps the message clear.

This is something specific to the MIPS assembler:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.32/as/MIPS-Macros.html

However, I don't know MIPS, so I can't help you any further. The MIPS code generator produces these directives, but I don't know why.

between
.set macro
and
.set nomacro

are pseudo assembler code witch will be decoded by as to another "real" instructions:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. li $t1, 0x001E0064
would be decoded as
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. lui $t1,0x0010
  2. ori $t1, $t1,0x0064
