Mostly uninteresting, except:
- in __extendXfYf2, when checking if the number is normal, the current code relies on the unsignedness of src_rep_t, which is fine. Except that when sizeof(src_rep_t) < sizeof(int), the result gets promoted to int, the signedness of which breaks the comparison. I added an explicit cast to avoid that; it shouldn't affect other types.
- we can't just pass __fp16 around (you even get a clang error), so I made uint16_t explicit.
- is there a good way to define aliases (for the gnu_*_ieee names) ? Using the attribute, on darwin, clang complains about only weak aliases being supported, so I went with the simple def.
I also need to finish writing unit tests in compiler-rt proper (I paused when I realized lit+cmake isn't supported). In the meantime, opinions welcome.
