So, apparently xsimd::lgamma(2) is returning -nan instead of 0 when compiled with clang 19 on arm64. Perhaps it's a bug in clang, not xsimd.
For comparison, the same test is passing with gcc 14 (at 1733s in the same test log). clang 19 is passing on amd64.
Separately, I'm concerned that many tests, nearly all in fact, use equality (CHECK_EQ) to make floating point comparisons. They would want to be used with doctest::Approx, as a couple of the tests are doing. Using equality for floating point comparison inevitably fails. However in this case the bigger problem is the nan value returned, not the floating point comparison.
