Keep in mind, that this code isn't tested by CI if we optionally include using standard implementations (as for erf with `#ifdef HAVE_ERF`).\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\r\n### Linked PRs\r\n* gh-101679\r\n* gh-101730\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/skirpichev","@type":"Person","name":"skirpichev"},"datePublished":"2023-02-08T06:45:40.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":20},"url":"https://github.com/101678/cpython/issues/101678"}
