            Bug ID: 107961
           Summary: [11/12/13 Regression] BFloat16 types are not
                    documented in "Half-Precision Floating Point"
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: documentation
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---
            Target: aarch64 x86_64

I noticed that the "Half-Precision Floating Point" part of the C extensions
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Half-Precision.html) don't document at all
the BFloat16 types. 

Especially now BFloat16 is not just a storage type, it can be used like a
normal type (on x86_64 at least; on aarch64 that is not true yet, referenced in
PR 107703).

--- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Note GCC 11 added support for bf16 for aarch64 but GCC 13 adds it for x86_64
and supports all operations and not just as a storage type.
