// __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) ~ 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
