Hey! Can this use hardware instructions for conversion? Intel CPUs support hardware conversion since 2013, and the new 12-th gen also has support for arithmetic (I think?). Other architectures had that a while ago.

This might be possible without compiler support using embedded C code, but wouldn't that be out of scope for this?

Nvm, 12-th gen had this for a brief moment added by accident, but then got removed from later revisions. This probably means it is going to be in other upcoming Core series CPUs. It was already a thing for Sapphire Rapids Xeons.

I also opened an upstream issue.
