%default {"preinstr":"", "result":"a0", "chkzero":"0"}
    /*
     * Generic 32-bit binary operation.  Provide an "instr" line that
     * specifies an instruction that performs "result = a0 op a1".
     * This could be a MIPS instruction or a function call.  (If the result
     * comes back in a register other than a0, you can override "result".)
     *
     * If "chkzero" is set to 1, we perform a divide-by-zero check on
     * vCC (a1).  Useful for integer division and modulus.  Note that we
     * *don't* check for (INT_MIN / -1) here, because the CPU handles it
     * correctly.
     *
     * For: add-int, sub-int, mul-int, div-int, rem-int, and-int, or-int,
     *      xor-int, shl-int, shr-int, ushr-int
