error: use of undeclared identifier 'vmaxq_f16'

I get this error whenever I try to use the NEON 16-bit float intrinsics. I do not face any issues with other data types intrinsics.

Isn't it possible to use NEON 16-bit float intrinsics on Android?

My code:

#include <jni.h>
#include <arm_fp16.h>
#include <arm_neon.h>

void useSIMD_f16() {
    float16_t zero = 0;
    float16x8_t zero_f16x8 = vld1q_dup_f16(&zero);
    float16_t one = 1;
    float16x8_t one_f16x8 = vld1q_dup_f16(&one);
    float16x8_t max = vmaxq_f16(zero_f16x8, one_f16x8);
}

Error:

Half-precision floating point isn't available on all Arm targets. Check whether the __ARM_FEATURE_FP16_VECTOR_ARITHMETIC macro is defined to determine whether the functions are available.

It's not really an Android thing; some Android devices will support it, others won't. It depends on the CPU.
