// __ieee754_log(x)
// Return the logarithm 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) ~ L1*s +L2*s +L3*s +L4*s +L5*s  +L6*s  +L7*s
//	(the values of L1 to L7 are listed in the program) and
//	    |      2          14          |     -58.45
//	    | L1*s +...+L7*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.

// Log returns the natural logarithm of x.
//
// Special cases are:
//	Log(+Inf) = +Inf
//	Log(0) = -Inf
//	Log(x < 0) = NaN
//	Log(NaN) = NaN
