It was given that aoc supports only char, int and long. What about "float"?  Can we pass float numbers to custom RTL functions ?

AOC supports pretty much all standard OpenCL data type including float and double. Please refer to "Appendix A: Support Statuses of OpenCL Features" in "Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Pro Edition: Programming Guide":
