https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22345 Issue ID: 22345 Summary: [internals] Make it easy to pre-define target-specific native types. Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com Reporter: ibuclaw@gdcproject.org For example: - __fp16 (half-float on ARM) - __bf16 (brain-float on ARM/ARM64) - __float80 (80-bit real on x86) - __float128 (128-bit real on x86) - __ibm128 (128-bit IBM float on PPC) - __ieee128 (128-bit IEEE float on PPC) Other C11 extension types could be considered too: - _FloatN and _FloatNx - _Decimal - _Fract - _Accum - _Sat As well as an internal va_list type. These type extensions would be made available using the isSpecial enum logic that is already present in the dmd front-end, which lets the front-end know just to ignore it. -- |
