Hi,
This patch set enables the _Float16 type specified in ISO/IEC TS 18661-3
for AArch64.
To do this, we first need to update the excess precision logic to support
possibly computing _Float16 values in 16-bit range and precision, and to
set the FLT_EVAL_METHOD macro to "16" as appropriate. That requires some
more expressiveness than we currently get with TARGET_FLT_EVAL_METHOD, so
we first need a new target hook - TARGET_C_EXCESS_PRECISION (patch 1/11),
which we implement in the i386, s390 and m68k back-ends in patches 2-4/11.
However, the meaning of the new value "16" for FLT_EVAL_METHOD is not
specified under C99/C11, and conforming code may have been written assuming
that the only possible values for FLT_EVAL_METHOD were negative values and
{ 0, 1, 2 }. In [patch 5/11] we work around that with a new option -
-fpermitted-flt-eval-methods=[c11|ts-18661-3]. This option will restrict
the compiler to only using the C99/C11 values for FLT_EVAL_METHOD, and is
set to -fpermitted-flt-eval-methods=c11 by default when in a standards
compliant mode like -std=c11.
Patch 6/11 does the work of rewriting the excess precision logic along
the guidelines given in https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-09/msg00410.html
Patch 7/11 finishes the hookization of TARGET_FLT_EVAL_METHOD by poisoning
the old macro.
Patch 8/11 removes the restriction in targhooks.c:default_floatn_mode that
currently disables HFmode support. This patch is not strictly necessary,
and an alternative route to the same goal would override TARGET_FLOATN_MODE
in AArch64. However, now we've cleaned up the excess precision logic,
I don't believe there is any reason this patch would not be correct.
Patch 9/11 imports the soft-fp changes from
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-09/msg00310.html to libgcc.
Patch 10/11 enables these conversion routines for AArch64.
And finally patch 11/11 adds support for the various hooks that the AArch64
back-end requires to turn _Float16 support on.
The patch series as a whole passes a bootstrap and test cycle on x86_64
and AArch64. I've bootstrapped and tested each patch individually on x86_64.
All new tests added and enabled pass as appropriate.
The AArch64 enablement requires
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-09/msg00268.html
OK?
Thanks,
