Need help with usage .set reorder/noreorder for PowerPC.

[Anmol Paralkar]

Hello,

 Unlike the MIPS assembler directives .set reorder/noreorder;
 the non-MIPS syntax for the .set assembler directive is:

 .set symbol, expression

 For PPC, how does one use .set reorder/noreorder?

 gas expects the above (non-MIPS) format for PPC, and where
 one would write:

 .set noreorder
 # MIPS assembly instructions
 .set reorder

 for MIPS; one needs to be writing:

 .set noreorder, <?expr?>
 # Equivalent PPC instructions for above MIPS assembly instructions
 .set reorder, <?expr?>

 instead; for PPC.

 The question is: What values does one fill for <?expr?> in both the cases?

 I did check:

 Please help. Thanks very much.
