The following patch implements the compiler part of C++23
P1467R9 - Extended floating-point types and standard names compiler part
by introducing _Float{16,32,64,128} as keywords and builtin types
like they are implemented for C already since GCC 7, with DF{16,32,64,128}_
mangling.
It also introduces _Float{32,64,128}x for C++ with the
https://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/pull/147
proposed mangling of DF{32,64,128}x.
The patch doesn't add anything for bfloat16_t support, as right now
__bf16 type refuses all conversions and arithmetic operations.
The patch wants to keep backwards compatibility with how __float128 has
been handled in C++ before, both for mangling and behavior in binary
operations, overload resolution etc. So, there are some backend changes
where for C __float128 and _Float128 are the same type (float128_type_node
and float128t_type_node are the same pointer), but for C++ they are distinct
types which mangle differently and _Float128 is treated as extended
floating-point type while __float128 is treated as non-standard floating
point type. The various C++23 changes about how floating-point types
are changed are actually implemented as written in the spec only if at least
one of the types involved is _Float{16,32,64,128,32x,64x,128x} (_FloatNx are
also treated as extended floating-point types) and kept previous behavior
otherwise. For float/double/long double the rules are actually written that
they behave the same as before.
There is some backwards incompatibility at least on x86 regarding _Float16,
because that type was already used by that name and with the DF16_ mangling
(but only since GCC 12 and I think it isn't that widely used in the wild
yet). E.g. config/i386/avx512fp16intrin.h shows the issues, where
in C or in GCC 12 in C++ one could pass 0.0f to a builtin taking _Float16
argument, but with the changes that is not possible anymore, one needs
to either use 0.0f16 or (_Float16) 0.0f.
We have also a problem with glibc headers, where since glibc 2.27
math.h and complex.h aren't compilable with these changes. One gets
errors like:
In file included from /usr/include/math.h:43,
from abc.c:1:
/usr/include/bits/floatn.h:86:9: error: multiple types in one declaration

This is from snippets like:
/* The remaining of this file provides support for older compilers. */
# if __HAVE_FLOAT128
/* The type _Float128 exists only since GCC 7.0. */
# if !__GNUC_PREREQ (7, 0) || defined __cplusplus
typedef __float128 _Float128;
# endif
where it hardcodes that C++ doesn't have _Float{16,32,64,128,32x,64x,128x} support nor
{f,F}{16,32,64,128}{,x} literal suffixes nor _Complex _Float{16,32,64,128,32x,64x,128x}.
The patch fixincludes this for now and hopefully if this is committed, then
glibc can change those. The patch changes those
# if !__GNUC_PREREQ (7, 0) || defined __cplusplus
conditions to
# if !__GNUC_PREREQ (7, 0) || (defined __cplusplus && !__GNUC_PREREQ (13, 0))
Another thing is mangling, as said above, Itanium C++ ABI specifies
DF <number> _ as _Float{16,32,64,128} mangling, but GCC was implementing
a mangling incompatible with that starting with DF for fixed point types.
Fixed point was never supported in C++ though, I believe the reason why
the mangling has been added was that due to a bug it would leak into the
C++ FE through decltype (0.0r) etc. But that has been shortly after the
mangling was added fixed (I think in the same GCC release cycle), so we
now reject 0.0r etc. in C++. If we ever need the fixed point mangling,
I think it can be readded but better with a different prefix so that it
doesn't conflict with the published standard manglings. So, this patch
also kills the fixed point mangling and implements the DF <number> _
demangling.
The patch predefines __STDCPP_FLOAT{16,32,64,128}_T__ macros when
those types are available, but only for C++23, while the underlying types
are available in C++98 and later including the {f,F}{16,32,64,128} literal
suffixes (but those with a pedwarn for C++20 and earlier). My understanding
is that it needs to be predefined by the compiler, on the other side
predefining even for older modes when <stdfloat> is a new C++23 header
would be weird. One can find out if _Float{16,32,64,128,32x,64x,128x} is
supported in C++ by
__GNUC__ >= 13 && defined(__FLT{16,32,64,128,32X,64X,128X}_MANT_DIG__)
(but that doesn't work well with older G++ 13 snapshots).
As for std::bfloat16_t, three targets (aarch64, arm and x86) apparently
"support" __bf16 type which has the bfloat16 format, but isn't really
usable, e.g. {aarch64,arm,ix86}_invalid_conversion disallow any conversions
from or to type with BFmode, {aarch64,arm,ix86}_invalid_unary_op disallows
any unary operations on those except for ADDR_EXPR and
{aarch64,arm,ix86}_invalid_binary_op disallows any binary operation on
those. So, I think we satisfy:
"If the implementation supports an extended floating-point type with the
properties, as specified by ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559, of radix (b) of 2, storage
width in bits (k) of 16, precision in bits (p) of 8, maximum exponent (emax)
of 127, and exponent field width in bits (w) of 8, then the typedef-name
std::bfloat16_t is defined in the header <stdfloat> and names such a type,
the macro __STDCPP_BFLOAT16_T__ is defined, and the floating-point literal
suffixes bf16 and BF16 are supported."
because we don't really support those right now.
