The following example shows an instruction sequence prior to optimization: addf f7, f8, f9 ; 1 addf f2, f3, f4 ; 2 addl r5, r6, r7 ; 3 addl r8, r9, r10 ; 4 The assembler optimizes the previous example to a sequence similar to the following instruction sequence: : addf f7, f8, f9 ; 1 addl r5, r6, r7 ; 3 addf f2, f3, f4 ; 2 addl r8, r9, r10 ; 4 : If you choose to suppress optimization in the previous example, enclose the four instructions with the .BEGIN_EXACT and .END_EXACT directives, as shown in the following example: .BEGIN_EXACT addf f7, f8, f9 ; 1 addf f2, f3, f4 ; 2 addl r5, r6, r7 ; 3 addl r8, r9, r10 ; 4 .END_EXACT
