/* __ieee754_log(x)
 * Return the logrithm of x
 *
 * Method :                  
 *   1. Argument Reduction: find k and f such that 
 *          x = 2^k * (1+f), 
 *     where  sqrt(2)/2 < 1+f < sqrt(2) .
 *
 *   2. Approximation of log(1+f).
 *  Let s = f/(2+f) ; based on log(1+f) = log(1+s) - log(1-s)
 *       = 2s + 2/3 s**3 + 2/5 s**5 + .....,
 *           = 2s + s*R
 *      We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.1716] to generate 
 *  a polynomial of degree 14 to approximate R The maximum error 
 *  of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-58.45. In
 *  other words,
 *              2      4      6      8      10      12      14
 *      R(z) ~ Lg1*s +Lg2*s +Lg3*s +Lg4*s +Lg5*s  +Lg6*s  +Lg7*s
 *      (the values of Lg1 to Lg7 are listed in the program)
 *  and
 *      |      2          14          |     -58.45
 *      | Lg1*s +...+Lg7*s    -  R(z) | <= 2 
 *      |                             |
 *  Note that 2s = f - s*f = f - hfsq + s*hfsq, where hfsq = f*f/2.
 *  In order to guarantee error in log below 1ulp, we compute log
 *  by
 *      log(1+f) = f - s*(f - R)    (if f is not too large)
 *      log(1+f) = f - (hfsq - s*(hfsq+R)). (better accuracy)
 *  
 *  3. Finally,  log(x) = k*ln2 + log(1+f).  
 *              = k*ln2_hi+(f-(hfsq-(s*(hfsq+R)+k*ln2_lo)))
 *     Here ln2 is split into two floating point number: 
 *          ln2_hi + ln2_lo,
 *     where n*ln2_hi is always exact for |n| < 2000.
 *
 * Special cases:
 *  log(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0 (including -INF) ; 
 *  log(+INF) is +INF; log(0) is -INF with signal;
 *  log(NaN) is that NaN with no signal.
 *
 * Accuracy:
 *  according to an error analysis, the error is always less than
 *  1 ulp (unit in the last place).
 *
 * Constants:
 * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following 
 * constants. The decimal values may be used, provided that the 
 * compiler will convert from decimal to binary accurately enough 
 * to produce the hexadecimal values shown.
