[HIPIFY][feature] Support for `fp8` data types
Problem Description
Such as when I hipify a cu file having fp8 datatype in it, after the hipify-clang command, the fp8 datatype doesn't turned into HIP fp8 type.
For example:
__nv_fp8_e4m3
doesn't change and the hipify-clang will report error:
error: unknown type name '__nv_fp8_e4m3'
Why? Doesn't hipify support FP8?

Hello @foreverlms,
Currently, HIP supports some of the fp8 data types and APIs. Whereas, HIPIFY tools don't. Thank you for pointing it out.
Marking the ticket as a feature to Implement.
Thanks for replying. Hope to see the fp8 support available.
Hi @foreverlms,
It is available now. Going to revise fp16 soon.
