If reviewers would find it helpful, I can upload here or attach to the bug a result of diffing Float16.java compared to Float8_E5M2.java with "Float16" replaced by a "FLOAT_TYPE" token and likewise for "Float8_E5M2" in its file. This removes many inessential differences between the two files, but is still about 600 lines of changes. Many of the remaining changes stem from different parameter names, "f16" vs "f8", and the use of "short" vs "byte". ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/valhalla/pull/2259#issuecomment-4126556490
