cerfcx, erfcx - underflow-compensated complementary error function
#include <cerf.h>
double _Complex cerfcx ( double _Complex z );
double erfcx ( double x );
The function cerfcx is an underflow-compensated variant of the complex error function: erfcx(z) = exp(z^2) erfc(z).
The function erfcx takes a real argument and returns a real result.

The implementation of cerfcx is a thin wrapper around Faddeeva's function w_of_z.
The implementation of ercx is self-contained, and improves upon the SLATEC DERFC function (or an erfcx function derived therefrom) or Cody's CALERF function (from netlib.org/specfun), while retaining near machine precision in accuracy.
Please report bugs to the authors.
