 NOTE: Although C++23 introduces `<stdfloat>` for fixed-width floating-point types, this latest standard is not yet supported in the upstream RISC-V compiler. The specification (along with the prototype lists in appendix) uses `Float16`/`float`/`double` to represent the floating-point type with element width of 16/32/64.
