Comment at: lib/Headers/opencl-c.h:12097
+#ifdef cl_khr_fp16
float __ovld vload_half(size_t offset, const __constant half *p);
#if __OPENCL_C_VERSION__ >= CL_VERSION_2_0
----------------
These built-ins are part of the core specification, which doesn't allow using `half` data type directly, but user can declare a pointer to `half` data type and use built-ins like vload_half/vstore_half converting `half` data type to `float` data type.
cl_khr_fp16 enables regular uses of half data types as well as built-ins returning `half` data type instead of `float` - vload/vstore.
