Issue description:
Otherwise, if either operand is of floating-point type, the following rules are applied:
- If both operands have the same type, no further conversion is needed.
No conversion is needed, but is it permitted? Is an implementation allowed to define the result of float + float
as double
?
That does not seem like it is the intent, at least for standard floating-point types. What about extended floating-point types?
Supposing that half
is a narrower than float
floating-point type such as an 8 or 16 bit float, half + half
resulting in float
may be quite reasonable on some architectures.
Suggested resolution:
Assuming that no such conversions should be permitted for any floating-point types:
- If both operands have the same type, no further conversion is needed. + If both operands have the same type, no further conversion is applied.
