hyper_2f1


hyper_2f1, a Fortran90 code which evaluates the hypergeometric functions 2F1(a,b,c;x) for real or complex parameters a, b, c, and argument x, by N. Michel and M. Stoitsov.

Although this code should get 16 digits of accuracy, it seems, at least for complex results, to be limited to 8 digits instead. The corresponding C++ version has no such accuracy issue, so some kind of hidden bug is suspected.
