The very idea of Linking openLibm with GNU octave was to bring consistency of maths library functions across different compilers and systems, thus achieving a good Libm implementation and countering the above bugs. The project openLibm was part of GSoC 2022, where some of the above bugs' c++ snippets were tested against openLibm to achieve the desired result. Unfortunately, the openLibm failed to provide the expected results.OpenLibm has its own limitation such as not being fully built and well-maintained Libm and hence the result. | The very idea of Linking openLibm with GNU octave was to bring consistency of maths library functions across different compilers and systems, thus achieving a good Libm implementation and countering the above bugs.

The proposed solution is to use Openlibm as a replacement of libm to deal with the inconsistency in the maths library caused when Octave is compiled with libc++ (default on macOS) and sometimes with libstdc++ has failed and the bug issues and can not be solved with openlibm. Hence, there is a need to find an alternate solution to address this issue. | The proposed solution is to use Openlibm as a replacement of libm to deal with the inconsistency in the maths library caused when Octave is compiled with libc++ (default on macOS) and sometimes with libstdc++ has failed and the bug issues and can not be solved with openlibm.
