Thanks, my understanding is that we are not intending to implement those types on C++ mode. Sounds like it means if we need a standard half-precision type for C++ we might need to wait https://wg21.link/p1467 ? > No. short float has been specifically rejected in WG14, given the > expectation that people using narrower-than-float types will want a > specific format (whether binary16 or bfloat16) rather than something more > generic where they don't know what format it has. Thanks for the info, I didn't know too much about the
