Octave Complex types are exactly std::complex<T>. If you are compiling
with a C++11-conforming compiler, then they are binary compatible with
C99 _Complex types, but I don't think any API compatibility is provided.

I don't know what all the relevant behavior is. That file defines some
operations on Octave complex types.
