== Background

RISC-V lacks common instructions present in competitive ISAs, and as such lags the competition on code size in many workloads.
RISC-V lacks common instructions present in competitive ISAs, and as such lags the competition on code size in many workloads even with compressed 16-bit encodings.
To address that gap, many RVI members have custom extensions for combined instructions (_e.g._, additional load/store addressing modes).
Standardizing combined instructions will benefit vendors with custom instructions by enabling consolidated toolchain support, and will improve key metrics for the ecosystem as a whole.
