I know an approach to implementing many of the missing functions. The problem is that over the last 2 years or so I have had very little time to work on coding nor am I paid to work on such code. When I do find some free time, I look at what is missing and start to put together a new function. At the moment, it seems that it takes 3+ years to get a new function written, tested, and committed. Given that it seems that only das_at_, bde_at_, and I work on libm, I suspect it will be completed by the time I retire. At one time I had hoped others would step up to help write the missing function, but most people seem to push the "easy button" and want to grab either cephes or netlib's libm. There are technical issues with this approach that I won't rehash again. -- SteveReceived on Wed Jul 11 2012 - 20:32:49 UTC
