I’ve spent a ton of time working on numerical code written in various languages and this code looks absolutely maintainable. Given how widely it’s been ported on how many platforms that’s not particularly surprising. If you’re used to business software or stuff that deals in essentially parsing and concatenating strings maybe it’s unfamiliar what a numerical C program looks like and it’s daunting looking. But frankly I feel like I could probably understand most and contribute meaningfully with a few weeks of experimenting. The comments are fairly detailed, things seem to be well compartmentalized into functions, there’s not a huge over reliance on macros, non numerical variables tend to be reasonably named.
