"Generally, mixed-mode arithmetic combining real and complex variables should be performed directly, not by first coercing the real to complex, lest the sign of zero be rendered uninformative; the same goes for combinations of pure imaginary quantities with complex variables." (c) Kahan, W: Branch cuts for complex elementary functions. This patch implements mixed-mode arithmetic rules, combining real and complex variables as specified by C standards since C99 (in particular, there is no special version for the true division with real lhs operand). Most C compilers implementing C99+ Annex G have only these special rules (without support for imaginary type, which is going to be deprecated in C2y).
Tests in this directory are compiled into the _testcapi extension. The main file for the extension is Modules/_testcapimodule.c, which calls `_PyTestCapi_Init_*` from these functions. General guideline when writing test code for C API. * Use Argument Clinic to minimise the amount of boilerplate code. * Add a newline between the argument spec and the docstring. * If a test description is needed, make sure the added docstring clearly and succinctly describes purpose of the function. * DRY, use the clone feature of Argument Clinic. * Try to avoid adding new interned strings; reuse existing parameter names if possible. Use the `as` feature of Argument Clinic to override the C variable name, if needed.
