- a * b + c is two roundings on every processor and --cpu: the IR has no fast-math flags, and clang
compiles it with -ffp-contract=on (checked in the assembly: never fused, also with FMA hardware)
- fma(a, b, c) / v.fma(b, c): one rounding, always (llvm.fma)
- muladd(a, b, c) / v.muladd(b, c): the fastest way here (llvm.fmuladd), what v.fma was before
- f32_bits / f32_from_bits / f64_bits / f64_from_bits: bitcasts, also of vectors
- f16_to_f32 / f32_to_f16 (LLVM half), bf16_to_f32 / f32_to_bf16 (integer ops, ties to even, NaN kept)
- docs (en, pl): what is guaranteed about floats, the new built-ins
