For reference, we could alternatively have the signature be

rempio2( const double x, double *y1, double *y2 );

Where y1 and y2 are pointers for storing output values. However, this is not conventional. Instead, FreeBSD expects a pointer to a two-element array. It is fine for us to do the same.

Hello @kgryte @Pranavchiku I would like to work on this issue :)

[Pranavchiku]

@lovelindhoni I'll prefer you to apply review and get #1659 merged.

Also this PR depends on round.

@Pranavchiku I think we can start working on this as the pkgs for this are already implemented in C

if it is fine can I take up this issue as I have completed the kernel rempio functions ?

Also this PR depends on round.

I only saw these pkg being used in rempio2 found it in medium

high-word-abs-mask, high-word-exponent-mask, high-word-significand-mask, get-high-word, get-low-word, from-words

@USERSATOSHI Since this issue was not assigned specifically, I've been working on this issue and have nearly implemented it,
If possible, could you please let me know if there are any packages required for this?
If you have been working on this too, please let me know!
Best.

@xaman27x this package as of right now was not assigned as this is dependent on @stdlib/math/base/special/round which is right now in opened pull request state as requires review

and on my side , it is on hold until the c implementation of round is merged

This has now been implemented. Closing...
