Hi Gedare, Thank you very much for the welcome! Will do on the plain-text. Hopefully this is better.
Hello Dr. Sherrill, I’ll stand by for your guidance at your convenience. I’d be happy to recommend updates to the POSIX Compliance Guide and API Guide if I can. Based on Ehsan Dhawan’s notes from GSoC 2020, I suspect some of the methods marked as “not supported” in the docs have already been added (such as from fenv.h, for example). But I’m not sure where I should look to confirm. Thank you very much!
