<h4 class="subsection">9.27.2 PowerPC Assembler Directives</h4>
<p><a name="index-directives-for-PowerPC-1434"></a><a name="index-PowerPC-directives-1435"></a>A number of assembler directives are available for PowerPC. The
following table is far from complete.
<dl>
<dt><code>.machine "string"</code><dd>This directive allows you to change the machine for which code is
generated. <code>"string"</code> may be any of the -m cpu selection options
(without the -m) enclosed in double quotes, <code>"push"</code>, or
<code>"pop"</code>. <code>.machine "push"</code> saves the currently selected
cpu, which may be restored with <code>.machine "pop"</code>.
