libmpc

brew install libmpc v1.4.1 LGPL-3.0-or-later

C library for arbitrary-precision complex number arithmetic.

Why you might care

Used as a build dependency by GCC and other compilers that need to perform high-precision complex calculations during compilation. Not typically used directly in applications, but essential for compiler toolchains. Depends on GMP and MPFR.
