Hello Julia community, I am working on a project(written in C/C++,Octave) where I have to make the C math library function work consistently across compilers and operating systems. For this, One solution that comes is the use of Openlibm. Since I am new to Openlibm, I have a few doubts regarding this. `a` Does openlibm supports function overloading like c++? `b ` Does c++ stdlib always guaranteed to implement its methods relying on functions in the C math library that can be overridden by `openlibm` ?

Hi and welcome to Julia discourse.  
Perhaps you could edit your question to make it more specific to Julia? Then others can share their knowledge on that topic.
