Half precision floating point numbers will be encoded using the IEEE 754 half precision floating point format - 16 bits in total, 1 for sign, 5 for exponent and 10 bits of mantissa. This patch implements the float16 directive for both the IEEE 754 format and the Arm alternative format for the Arm backend. The syntax of the directive is: .float16 <0-n decimal numbers> e.g. .float16 12.0 .float16 0.23, 433.1, 0.06 The Arm alternative format is almost identical to the IEEE 754 format, except that it doesn't encode for NaNs or Infinity (instead an exponent of 0x1F represents a normalized number in the range 65536 to 131008). The alternative format is documented in the reference manual: https://static.docs.arm.com/ddi0487/db/DDI0487D_b_armv8_arm.pdf?_ga=2.72318806.49764181.1561632697-999473562.1560847439 Which format is used is controlled by the .float16_format <format> directive, where if <format> = ieee, then use the IEEE 754 half-precision format else if <format> = alternative, then use the Arm alternative format Or the format can be set on the command line via the -mfp16-format option that has a similar syntax. -mfp16-format=<ieee|alternative>. This also fixes the format and it cannot be changed by any directives. Once the format has been set (either by the command line option or a directive) it cannot be changed, and any attempts to change it (i.e. with the float16_format directive) will result in a warning and the line being ignored. For ELF targets the appropriate EABI attribute will be written out at the end of assembling if the format has been explicitly specified. If no format has been explicitly specified then no EABI attributes will be written. If the format is not explicitly specified then any float16 directives are encoding using the IEEE 754-2008 format by default until the format is fixed or changed with the float16_format directive. gas * config/tc-arm.c (enum fp_16bit_format): Add enum to represent the 2 float16 encodings.
