Compilation error in MacOS: no member named 'terminate' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'template'? #287
Description
I'm installing XTL on MacOS, building the tests as well. During this build I get the error:

Building of project xtl did not succeed - exiting now
I use the same install script as I did in Linux, where it compiled without errors. Does MacOS(clang) require different setup options than Linux(gcc)?

I think we're missing some include (
std::terminateis defined in the header<exception>, which is not included inxhalf_float_impl.hpp. We may be more lucky on Linux where it is probably included by other headers. Adding the missing include toxhalf_float_impl.hppshould probably fix your issue, although I'm a bit surprised we did not catch it in the CI.
