The ACLE defines a new scalar type, __mfp8. This is an opaque 8bit types that
can only be used by fp8 intrinsics. Additionally, the mfloat8_t type is made
available in arm_neon.h and arm_sve.h as an alias of the same.
This implementation uses an unsigned INTEGER_TYPE, with precision 8 to
represent __mfp8. Conversions to int and other types are disabled via the
TARGET_INVALID_CONVERSION hook.
Additionally, operations that are typically available to integer types are
disabled via TARGET_INVALID_UNARY_OP and TARGET_INVALID_BINARY_OP hooks.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* config/aarch64/aarch64-builtins.cc (aarch64_mfp8_type_node): Add node
for __mfp8 type.
(aarch64_mfp8_ptr_type_node): Add node for __mfp8 pointer type.
(aarch64_init_fp8_types): New function to initialise fp8 types and
register with language backends.
* config/aarch64/aarch64.cc (aarch64_mangle_type): Add ABI mangling for
new type.
(aarch64_invalid_conversion): Add function implementing
TARGET_INVALID_CONVERSION hook that blocks conversion to and from the
__mfp8 type.
(aarch64_invalid_unary_op): Add function implementing TARGET_UNARY_OP
hook that blocks operations on __mfp8 other than &.
(aarch64_invalid_binary_op): Extend TARGET_BINARY_OP hook to disallow
operations on __mfp8 type.
(TARGET_INVALID_CONVERSION): Add define.
(TARGET_INVALID_UNARY_OP): Likewise.
* config/aarch64/aarch64.h (aarch64_mfp8_type_node): Add node for __mfp8
type.
(aarch64_mfp8_ptr_type_node): Add node for __mfp8 pointer type.
* config/aarch64/arm_private_fp8.h (mfloat8_t): Add typedef.
