Not sure how can I run benchmarks and tests, I followed previous commands like

% make benchmark-c BENCHMARKS_FILTER=.*/math/base/special/acsc/.*                                            
zsh: no matches found: BENCHMARKS_FILTER=.*/math/base/special/acsc/.*

% make examples-c EXAMPLES_FILTER=.*/math/base/special/acsc.*                                               
zsh: no matches found: EXAMPLES_FILTER=.*/math/base/special/acsc/.*

How may I run javascript tests?

make test TESTS_FILTER=".*/math/base/special/acsc/.*"

should work.

@Pranavchiku I am not sure why those commands are not working for you. Can you trying surrounding the filter in quotes?

make benchmark-c BENCHMARKS_FILTER=".*/math/base/special/acsc/.*"

@Pranavchiku This is looking good. Thanks for working on this. The builtin C benchmark can be removed as acsc is not a part of C99, TMK. We also need to add a gypfile field to the package.json. Once resolved, this PR should be ready for merge.

@Pranavchiku Are you interested in working to get this PR over the finish line?

[Pranavchiku]

I am afraid I will not be able to do it atm. I am fine if anyone else pick it up or if it is not a blocker I can look it up later at end of June.

We already merged a PR for the C implementation . Merged latest changes from develop into the PR branch and will merge the now much smaller PR, which just consists of a few documentation and style improvements, shortly.
