Shamrock primitive types

In the Shamrock codebase, some binary utilities tend to be used. But the C++ standard doesn’t specify the bit count of types such as int, float, … In order to circumvent such issues, we rely on primitive types that have explicit bit count such as uint_32t, … But they are cumbersome due to their ugly naming :). Hence the following type list

unsigned integers : u8, u16, u32, u64

signed integers : i8, i16, i32, i64

floating point numbers : f16, f32, f64

Here the prefix letter describes the nature of the object, and the number describes the number of bits. It is also possible to add a subscript with a number to specify a vector of such objects, for example: f64_3 describes a dimension 3 f64 vector. The possible sizes are: 2, 3, 4, 8, 16

Literals

All of those types can be invoked using literals by specifying a value underscore the wanted type, for example:

u64 a = 15486_u64
