// double log1p(double x)
//
// Method :
//   1. Argument Reduction: find k and f such that
//                      1+x = 2**k * (1+f),
//         where  sqrt(2)/2 < 1+f < sqrt(2) .
//
//      Note. If k=0, then f=x is exact. However, if k!=0, then f
//      may not be representable exactly. In that case, a correction
//      term is need. Let u=1+x rounded. Let c = (1+x)-u, then
//      log(1+x) - log(u) ~ c/u. Thus, we proceed to compute log(u),
//      and add back the correction term c/u.
//      (Note: when x > 2**53, one can simply return log(x))
//
//   2. Approximation of log1p(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) ~ Lp1*s +Lp2*s +Lp3*s +Lp4*s +Lp5*s  +Lp6*s  +Lp7*s
//      (the values of Lp1 to Lp7 are listed in the program)
//      and
//          |      2          14          |     -58.45
//          | Lp1*s +...+Lp7*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
//              log1p(f) = f - (hfsq - s*(hfsq+R)).
//
//   3. Finally, log1p(x) = k*ln2 + log1p(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:
//      log1p(x) is NaN with signal if x < -1 (including -INF) ;
//      log1p(+INF) is +INF; log1p(-1) is -INF with signal;
//      log1p(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.
//
// Note: Assuming log() return accurate answer, the following
//       algorithm can be used to compute log1p(x) to within a few ULP:
//
//              u = 1+x;
//              if(u==1.0) return x ; else
//                         return log(u)*(x/(u-1.0));
//
//       See HP-15C Advanced Functions Handbook, p.193.

// Log1p returns the natural logarithm of 1 plus its argument x.
// It is more accurate than Log(1 + x) when x is near zero.
//
// Special cases are:
//
//	Log1p(+Inf) = +Inf
//	Log1p(±0) = ±0
//	Log1p(-1) = -Inf
//	Log1p(x < -1) = NaN
//	Log1p(NaN) = NaN
