Package: fp16
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Dear Maintainer,
the function fp16_ieee_from_fp32_value() fails to pass tests on i386 arch,
resulting in missing packages
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=fp16
I think the problem here is implicit usage of double type at
include/fp16/fp16.h:231.
The patch should fix that.
