Hello, I have to do some styling changes in the package like spaces before any kind of brackets in the JS implementations and write README.md but since I got some issues while running, just thought I should open up a draft PR. So, I request you to ignore those for the time being.

Some notes:

  • The test data is taken from PR for cscal.
  • For representing the input array, we have used x/X (and x0, x1) for JS and C while using cx since in packages like ccopy that same convention is followed. If we're requiring the use of names cx/CX, please do let me know so that I can make the changes on them before code review (since there are a lot of those instances).
  1. For test.ndarray.native.js, I am getting this error for both Fortran and C:
	return new Float32Array( x.buffer, x.byteOffset+(x.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*offset), 2*(x.length-offset) ); // eslint-disable-line max-len
	       ^

RangeError: Start offset -24 is outside the bounds of the buffer
    at new Float32Array (<anonymous>)

    at csscal (d:\stdlib\lib\node_modules\@stdlib\blas\base\csscal\lib\ndarray.native.js:63:10)
    at Test.test (d:\stdlib\lib\node_modules\@stdlib\blas\base\csscal\test\test.ndarray.native.js:254:2)
    at Test.bound [as _cb] (d:\stdlib\node_modules\tape\lib\test.js:58:32)

    at Immediate.next (d:\stdlib\node_modules\tape\lib\results.js:70:15)
    at process.processImmediate (node:internal/timers:476:21)

when i keep stride less than 0 like csscal( 4, alpha, x, -1, 0 );. I'm not sure how to approach this since it this means that in reinterpret, a negative offset value is invalid (maybe we could directly return x without any run in ndarray.native.js like:

function csscal( N, alpha, x, strideX, offsetX ) {
	var viewX;
	offsetX = minViewBufferIndex( N, strideX, offsetX );
	if (offsetX < 0) {
		return x;
	}
	viewX = reinterpret( x, offsetX );
	addon( N, new Float32Array([alpha]), viewX, strideX );
	return x;
}
  1. Also, I'm hilariously getting an error related to modules not found while running C implementation which is also found in the PR for cscal. I double-checked the .json files and the filepaths but the error seems persistent.

Edit: For the C lint error, I tried defining alpha_len inside the function scope, directly typecasting to int64_t, and passing alpha_len's address but still gives errors to build the add-ons.

⭐ Since the PR for cscal itself is under review and there was no corresponding z* implementation, I expect this PR to be fairly involved but yeah, it would be really helpful too in terms of understanding how c* and in general, how blas routines using complex numbers are implemented. So, thank you so much in advance!
