17 /* __ieee754_exp(x)
18  * Returns the exponential of x.
19  *
20  * Method
21  *   1. Argument reduction:
22  *      Reduce x to an r so that |r| <= 0.5*ln2 ~ 0.34658.
23  *	Given x, find r and integer k such that
24  *
25  *               x = k*ln2 + r,  |r| <= 0.5*ln2.
26  *
27  *      Here r will be represented as r = hi-lo for better
28  *	accuracy.
29  *
30  *   2. Approximation of exp(r) by a special rational function on
31  *	the interval [0,0.34658]:
32  *	Write
33  *	    R(r**2) = r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2 + r*r/6 - r**4/360 + ...
34  *      We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.34658] to generate
35  * 	a polynomial of degree 5 to approximate R. The maximum error
36  *	of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-59. In
37  *	other words,
38  *	    R(z) ~ 2.0 + P1*z + P2*z**2 + P3*z**3 + P4*z**4 + P5*z**5
39  *  	(where z=r*r, and the values of P1 to P5 are listed below)
40  *	and
41  *	    |                  5          |     -59
42  *	    | 2.0+P1*z+...+P5*z   -  R(z) | <= 2
43  *	    |                             |
44  *	The computation of exp(r) thus becomes
45  *                             2*r
46  *		exp(r) = 1 + -------
47  *		              R - r
48  *                                 r*R1(r)
49  *		       = 1 + r + ----------- (for better accuracy)
50  *		                  2 - R1(r)
51  *	where
52  *			         2       4             10
53  *		R1(r) = r - (P1*r  + P2*r  + ... + P5*r   ).
54  *
55  *   3. Scale back to obtain exp(x):
56  *	From step 1, we have
57  *	   exp(x) = 2^k * exp(r)
58  *
59  * Special cases:
60  *	exp(INF) is INF, exp(NaN) is NaN;
61  *	exp(-INF) is 0, and
62  *	for finite argument, only exp(0)=1 is exact.
63  *
64  * Accuracy:
65  *	according to an error analysis, the error is always less than
66  *	1 ulp (unit in the last place).
67  *
68  * Misc. info.
69  *	For IEEE double
70  *	    if x >  7.09782712893383973096e+02 then exp(x) overflow
71  *	    if x < -7.45133219101941108420e+02 then exp(x) underflow
72  *
73  * Constants:
74  * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following
75  * constants. The decimal values may be used, provided that the
76  * compiler will convert from decimal to binary accurately enough
77  * to produce the hexadecimal values shown.
