The C++ equivalent is std::float16_t, defined in P1467[1], and is coming
with GCC 13 both in native mode (for x86, using AVX512FP16) and in
emulated mode. The C and C++ types will be the same type (<stdfloat>
simply typedefs).
qfloat16 will need to remain a wrapper with an integer member to keep
ABI with previous Qt versions. Because it is a trivially-copyable small
type, it gets currently passed in registers; the presence of the integer
member means it gets passed in general-purpose registers, while a single
_Float16 member would be passed in a floating-point register. See:
