Not very reliable. For precision one usually seeks out the MPFR library or something similar.

If anyone else wonders, MPFR (Multi-Precision Floating-point calc with correct Rounding). The application domain is Interval Math [1].

ARB https://arblib.org/ is often better than mpfr.
Thanks, that's a new one.
