@StephanTLavavej Do you think there is any way we might be able to get a fix in UCRT for this?

@frederick-vs-ja Since this is a bug in UCRT which has been reported and closed as "not to be fixed", I am tempted to say that keeping these tests as XFAIL and being non-conforming on UCRT might be acceptable. If they don't think it's worth fixing the issue, I'm not sure it's worth us doing a (pretty involved) workaround for it either.

I've brought this up to the UCRT team since we're (very likely) going to have to alter math.h for constexpr cmath, and it would be nice to have a set of changes that fixes everything once and for all.

That said, I would not hold my breath expecting this to change any time soon. MSVC's STL also has workarounds for the UCRT issues here.

// around by -fdelayed-template-parsing. Since C++20, we can use standard feature "requires" instead.

// TODO: Remove the workaround once UCRT fixes these functions. Note that this doesn't seem planned as of 2025-07 per
// https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/10294165.
