This patch moves the `fltSemantics` struct definition (along with `fltNonfiniteBehavior` and `fltNanEncoding` enums) from APFloat.cpp to APFloat.h, making them part of the public API. Currently, downstream projects cannot define custom floating-point semantics because `fltSemantics` is an opaque forward declaration in the header. This forces projects with specialized float formats to either patch LLVM locally or request new formats be added upstream for each variant. By exposing the struct, downstream users can define their own semantics.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
