18 /* LOG(X)
19  * RETURN THE LOGARITHM OF x
20  * DOUBLE PRECISION (VAX D FORMAT 56 bits or IEEE DOUBLE 53 BITS)
21  * CODED IN C BY K.C. NG, 1/19/85;
22  * REVISED BY K.C. NG on 2/7/85, 3/7/85, 3/24/85, 4/16/85.
23  *
24  * Required system supported functions:
25  *	scalb(x,n)
26  *	copysign(x,y)
27  *	logb(x)
28  *	finite(x)
29  *
30  * Required kernel function:
31  *	log__L(z)
32  *
33  * Method :
34  *	1. Argument Reduction: find k and f such that
35  *			x = 2^k * (1+f),
36  *	   where  sqrt(2)/2 < 1+f < sqrt(2) .
37  *
38  *	2. Let s = f/(2+f) ; based on log(1+f) = log(1+s) - log(1-s)
39  *		 = 2s + 2/3 s**3 + 2/5 s**5 + .....,
40  *	   log(1+f) is computed by
41  *
42  *	     		log(1+f) = 2s + s*log__L(s*s)
43  *	   where
44  *		log__L(z) = z*(L1 + z*(L2 + z*(... (L6 + z*L7)...)))
45  *
46  *	   See log__L() for the values of the coefficients.
47  *
48  *	3. Finally,  log(x) = k*ln2 + log(1+f).  (Here n*ln2 will be stored
49  *	   in two floating point number: n*ln2hi + n*ln2lo, n*ln2hi is exact
50  *	   since the last 20 bits of ln2hi is 0.)
51  *
52  * Special cases:
53  *	log(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0 (including -INF) ;
54  *	log(+INF) is +INF; log(0) is -INF with signal;
55  *	log(NaN) is that NaN with no signal.
56  *
57  * Accuracy:
58  *	log(x) returns the exact log(x) nearly rounded. In a test run with
59  *	1,536,000 random arguments on a VAX, the maximum observed error was
60  *	.826 ulps (units in the last place).
61  *
62  * Constants:
63  * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
64  * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
65  * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
66  * shown.
