During July 2025, Capps worked on the LLNL/axom repository, focusing on improving the robustness and portability of its formatting utilities. By addressing cross-compiler formatting issues, Capps removed extraneous spaces in user-defined literal operators and patched fmt-like definitions to ensure correct parsing and usage of format strings. This C++ work targeted the reduction of clang warnings and enhanced compatibility across different toolchains. Capps also contributed a patch file to document the fmt fix, supporting future maintenance. The work demonstrated a strong grasp of build systems, compiler warnings, and patching, resulting in more reliable builds and consistent formatting behavior across compilers.
