But any instructions that are deemed necessary can easily be > added. GAS will happily schedule any instruction into a branch delay slot as long as the instruction is not architecturally forbidden there (e.g. ERET), there is no data dependency with the branch that would affect the result produced and the instruction is not an explicit exception trap operation (BREAK, SYSCALL, TEQ, etc.). For some reason, unknown to me all MT ASE instructions are disallowed too. Anything else -- free to go in! Of course instructions can be scheduled into branch delay slots manually too, in handcoded assembly, and that has to continue working. Maciej
