in thread PDL 2.058 released

2.060 tests fine - but I don't know precisely what it was that changed from the earlier versions of gcc/runtime in relation to log10 - nor whether it was a change for the best, or a bug.
Do you have a simple C script that demonstrates this change ?
Mingw's complex.h includes clog10() beginning with Strawberry's release of perl-5.30.0 (gcc-8.3.0, runtime 6.0), so it should be available to these Windows builds, and onwards.

Cheers,
Rob

    Earlier GCC, this worked and produced the results you'd expect if (like previous me) you didn't properly understand the C99 tgmath, which then stopped working with more recent GCC:
    #include <tgmath.h>
    void main() {
    complex double z = 1.0;
    z = log10(z);
    printf("%f%+fi\n", creal(z), cimag(z));
    }
    
    See https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/numeric/tgmath for more. Note log10 is in the "real-only" section; GCC incorporated it into their "real or imag" tgmath for a while incorporating their own clog10 extension, but then evidently changed their minds. The presence or absence of clog10 is not relevant to log10 working or not with tgmath.

      Thank you for elaborating.
