70 	 * This is fairly efficient since f-hfsq only depends on f, so can
71 	 * be evaluated in parallel with R.  Not combining hfsq with R also
72 	 * keeps R small (though not as small as a true `lo' term would be),
73 	 * so that extra precision is not needed for terms involving R.
74 	 *
75 	 * Compiler bugs involving extra precision used to break Dekker's
76 	 * theorem for spitting f-hfsq as hi+lo, unless double_t was used
77 	 * or the multi-precision calculations were avoided when double_t
78 	 * has extra precision.  These problems are now automatically
79 	 * avoided as a side effect of the optimization of combining the
80 	 * Dekker splitting step with the clear-low-bits step.
81 	 *
82 	 * y must (for args near sqrt(2) and 1/sqrt(2)) be added in extra
83 	 * precision to avoid a very large cancellation when x is very near
84 	 * these values.  Unlike the above cancellations, this problem is
85 	 * specific to base 2.  It is strange that adding +-1 is so much
86 	 * harder than adding +-ln2 or +-log10_2.
87 	 *
88 	 * This uses Dekker's theorem to normalize y+val_hi, so the
89 	 * compiler bugs are back in some configurations, sigh.  And I
90 	 * don't want to used double_t to avoid them, since that gives a
91 	 * pessimization and the support for avoiding the pessimization
92 	 * is not yet available.
93 	 *
94 	 * The multi-precision calculations for the multiplications are
95 	 * routine.
