Hi: Would it be possible to support interchange floating point and/or extended floating point for C++, which is introduced by ISO/IEC TS 18661-3?
I've read the note about C++ support from the initial commit log[1], so I know there is some concern about C++ support for that, is it possible to enable that for C++ like a language extension for C++? The main demand comes from the data type for half-precision, ISO/IEC TS 18661-3 is the only common spec which supports half-precision and both GCC and clang are supported. However it can't be used on C++ for GCC, so it's hard to use that as a workable solution for half-precision data types. Or maybe ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG14 N2016[2] is a better way for half-precision data types?
