Implement a float16 directive for assembling 16 bit IEEE 754 floating point numbers for the AArch64 assembler.
The syntax of the directive is: .float16 <0-n decimal numbers> e.g. .float16 0.5 .float16 10.2, NaN, 452.09 The floats will always be encoded using the binary16 format as described in the IEEE 754-2008 standard. There is no need to support Arm's alternative half-precision format since AArch64 only supports the IEEE format. gas * config/tc-aarch64.c: Add float16 directive and add "Hh" to acceptable float characters. * doc/c-aarch64.texi: Documentation for float16 directive. * testsuite/gas/aarch64/float16-be.d: New test. * testsuite/gas/aarch64/float16-le.d: New test. * testsuite/gas/aarch64/float16.s: New test. * NEWS: Add NEWS entry.
