#### 8.23.1 Options

The PDP-11 version of `as` has a rich set of machine dependent options.

##### 8.23.1.1 Code Generation Options

`-mpic | -mno-pic`
  Generate position-independent (or position-dependent) code.

  The default is to generate position-independent code.

##### 8.23.1.2 Instruction Set Extension Options

These options enables or disables the use of extensions over the base line instruction set as introduced by the first PDP-11 CPU: the KA11. Most options come in two variants: a `-m` extension that enables extension, and a `-mno-`extension that disables extension.

The default is to enable all extensions.

`-mall | -mall-extensions`
  Enable all instruction set extensions.

`-mno-extensions`
  Disable all instruction set extensions.

`-mcis | -mno-cis`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the commercial instruction set, which consists of these instructions: `ADDNI`, `ADDN`, `ADDPI`, `ADDP`, `ASHNI`, `ASHN`, `ASHPI`, `ASHP`, `CMPCI`, `CMPC`, `CMPNI`, `CMPN`, `CMPPI`, `CMPP`, `CVTLNI`, `CVTLN`, `CVTLPI`, `CVTLP`, `CVTNLI`, `CVTNL`, `CVTNPI`, `CVTNP`, `CVTPLI`, `CVTPL`, `CVTPNI`, `CVTPN`, `DIVPI`, `DIVP`, `L2DR`, `L3DR`, `LOCCI`, `LOCC`, `MATCI`, `MATC`, `MOVCI`, `MOVC`, `MOVRCI`, `MOVRC`, `MOVTCI`, `MOVTC`, `MULPI`, `MULP`, `SCANCI`, `SCANC`, `SKPCI`, `SKPC`, `SPANCI`, `SPANC`, `SUBNI`, `SUBN`, `SUBPI`, and `SUBP`.

`-mcsm | -mno-csm`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the `CSM` instruction.

`-meis | -mno-eis`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the extended instruction set, which consists of these instructions: `ASHC`, `ASH`, `DIV`, `MARK`, `MUL`, `RTT`, `SOB` `SXT`, and `XOR`.

`-mfis | -mkev11`
`-mno-fis | -mno-kev11`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the KEV11 floating-point instructions: `FADD`, `FDIV`, `FMUL`, and `FSUB`.

`-mfpp | -mfpu | -mfp-11`
`-mno-fpp | -mno-fpu | -mno-fp-11`
  Enable (or disable) the use of FP-11 floating-point instructions: `ABSF`, `ADDF`, `CFCC`, `CLRF`, `CMPF`, `DIVF`, `LDCFF`, `LDCIF`, `LDEXP`, `LDF`, `LDFPS`, `MODF`, `MULF`, `NEGF`, `SETD`, `SETF`, `SETI`, `SETL`, `STCFF`, `STCFI`, `STEXP`, `STF`, `STFPS`, `STST`, `SUBF`, and `TSTF`.

`-mlimited-eis | -mno-limited-eis`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the limited extended instruction set: `MARK`, `RTT`, `SOB`, `SXT`, and `XOR`.

  The -mno-limited-eis options also implies -mno-eis.

`-mmfpt | -mno-mfpt`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the `MFPT` instruction.

`-mmultiproc | -mno-multiproc`
  Enable (or disable) the use of multiprocessor instructions: `TSTSET` and `WRTLCK`.

`-mmxps | -mno-mxps`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the `MFPS` and `MTPS` instructions.

`-mspl | -mno-spl`
  Enable (or disable) the use of the `SPL` instruction.

  Enable (or disable) the use of the microcode instructions: `LDUB`, `MED`, and `XFC`.
