The Green Hills™ Optimizing Compilers for MIPS all utilize a common code generator with architecture-specific optimizations. Each supported MIPS model has its own particular pipeline and instruction set characteristics. MIPS-specific supported features include:

• Processor - One option for each supported MIPS model. This setting determines the instructions permitted, as well as the pipeline optimization strategy used.
• Position Independent Code (PIC) and Data (PID)- Allows code and data to be created which can be placed anywhere in memory and still run correctly.
• PIC Compatible Code - Generates code in a mode such that it can be linked compatibly with PIC and PIC modules and libraries.
• MIPS Assembler Compatible Output - Generates assembly language output which is compatible with native MIPS assemblers from MIPS-based workstations from Silicon Graphics and other companies.
• MIPS-16 Instruction Set - Generates code for MIPS-16 ISA.
• 64-bit Integers - Supports 64-bit data types, constants, and expressions for MIPS processors.
• Far Function Calls - Handles code that exceeds the limits of the MIPS call instruction.
• Inline Prologue - Generates inlined code or code that calls a routine when saving and restoring registers.
• Small Data Area - Like most RISC processors, MIPS requires two 32-bit instructions to access data stored at an arbitrary 32-bit address. The Green Hills compilers collect frequently accessed variables into a block of up to 64K of memory. This enables single instruction access to data within this block, saving code size and improving performance.
