Conversion to/from float about float16 HOT 3 OPEN

Yes you are right. I indeed need to expose to/from float at least for C API

from float16.

Just for the record - it isn't high performance library - there are good libraries for c++ like half.hpp and for most modern systems it is better to do f16 math via conversion to float32 (with exception of arm that supports float16 natively in simd)

from float16.

Yes, converting to float is my plan, I was just thinking this could be interesting if all that's available is softfp, but obviously I'd have to do some benchmarking. Also, C++ isn't an option; it would be nice to have something available in C.
