While perusing some of the ga68 compiler source tree, I found in file
gcc-16.1.0/gcc/algol68/a68-parser-taxes.cc a list of 23 additional
functions
arccosdg cbrt curt gammaincgf
arccotdg cosdg erf sindg
arcsindg cospi erfc sinpi
arctandg cot gamma tandg
beta cotdg gammainc tanpi
betainc cotpi gammaincg
that might appear to be supported, but attempts to use them fail at
compile time with reports of unrecognized functions.
Do they need a special pragma to enable their access? Or is it the
case that this is work-in-progress, and other parts of ga68 are
awaiting updates to fully support them?
