Research direction
Start in src/erf.jl at the _erf methods referenced by the error, then reproduce erf(big(1.1im)) in Julia. Trace how erf and erfc handle BigFloat and Complex inputs; done means the example no longer raises a MethodError and the existing supported cases continue to work.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Hi,
This package is great, BigFloat and Complex are supported for erf and erfc, and the implementation is fast.
However, the combination of BigFloat and Complex is not supported. It would be great to add support for it, example:
erf(big(1.1im))
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching _erf(::Complex{BigFloat})
Closest candidates are:
_erf(::Float64) at ~/.julia/packages/SpecialFunctions/9pXme/src/erf.jl:15
