-@cindex MIPS debugging directives
-@sc{mips} @sc{ecoff} @code{@value{AS}} supports several directives used for
-generating debugging information which are not support by traditional @sc{mips}
-assemblers.  These are @code{.def}, @code{.endef}, @code{.dim}, @code{.file},
-@code{.scl}, @code{.size}, @code{.tag}, @code{.type}, @code{.val},
-@code{.stabd}, @code{.stabn}, and @code{.stabs}.  The debugging information
-generated by the three @code{.stab} directives can only be read by @sc{gdb},
-not by traditional @sc{mips} debuggers (this enhancement is required to fully
-support C++ debugging).  These directives are primarily used by compilers, not
-assembly language programmers!
