Having the fp16 pragmas enabled in the header file is risky. The macros
defined by that header don't (and can't) include the pragmas that make
fp16 types themselves legal, and another header may disable the fp16
pragma before the macro's use.
The safest thing to do is the use of pragmas surrounding each use of the
macro in the implementation files. This pattern is also far more common
across the codebase.
Increase fp16 support to allow clspv to continue to be OpenCL compliant
following the update of the OpenCL-CTS adding more testing on math
functions and conversions with half.
Math functions are implemented by upscaling to fp32 and using the fp32
implementation. It garantees the accuracy required for half-precision
float-point by the CTS.
Using exp2(x * M_LOG2E_F) does not give us accurate enough results for
OpenCL. If you look at the new exp implementation you'll see that
it does multiply the input by M_LOG2E_F, but it still uses the original
input in part of the calculation.
This exp implementation was ported from the AMD builtin library
and has been tested with piglit, OpenCV, and the ocl conformance tests.
