Copyright (c) 2018 FUJITSU LIMITED. All rights reserved. $COPYRIGHT$ This extension provides additional MPI datatypes MPIX_SHORT_FLOAT, MPIX_C_SHORT_FLOAT_COMPLEX, and MPIX_CXX_SHORT_FLOAT_COMPLEX, which are proposed with the MPI_ prefix in June 2017 for proposal in the MPI 4.0 standard. As of February 2019, it is not accepted yet. https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/65 Each MPI datatype corresponds to the C/C++ type 'short float', the C type 'short float _Complex', and the C++ type 'std::complex', respectively. This extension is enabled only if the C compiler supports 'short float' or '_Float16', or the '--enable-alt-short-float=TYPE' option is passed to the configure script.
