doomlord in irc said f16 (llvm's `half` type) would be very useful for graphics. LLVM already exposes fp128 for f128, so it /shouldn't/ be that difficult to support. Going farther into the land of f256 would be quite difficult though. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
