// exp(x)
// Returns the exponential of x.
//
// Method
// 1. Argument reduction:
// Reduce x to an r so that |r| <= 0.5*ln2 ~ 0.34658.
// Given x, find r and integer k such that
//
// x = k*ln2 + r, |r| <= 0.5*ln2.
//
// Here r will be represented as r = hi-lo for better
// accuracy.
//
// 2. Approximation of exp(r) by a special rational function on
// the interval [0,0.34658]:
// Write
// R(r**2) = r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2 + r*r/6 - r**4/360 + ...
// We use a special Remez algorithm on [0,0.34658] to generate
// a polynomial of degree 5 to approximate R. The maximum error
// of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-59. In
// other words,
// R(z) ~ 2.0 + P1*z + P2*z**2 + P3*z**3 + P4*z**4 + P5*z**5
// (where z=r*r, and the values of P1 to P5 are listed below)
// and
// | 5 | -59
// | 2.0+P1*z+...+P5*z - R(z) | <= 2
// | |
// The computation of exp(r) thus becomes
// 2*r
// exp(r) = 1 + -------
// R - r
// r*R1(r)
// = 1 + r + ----------- (for better accuracy)
// 2 - R1(r)
// where
// 2 4 10
// R1(r) = r - (P1*r + P2*r + ... + P5*r ).
//
// 3. Scale back to obtain exp(x):
// From step 1, we have
// exp(x) = 2**k * exp(r)
//
// Special cases:
// exp(INF) is INF, exp(NaN) is NaN;
// exp(-INF) is 0, and
// for finite argument, only exp(0)=1 is exact.
//
// Accuracy:
// according to an error analysis, the error is always less than
// 1 ulp (unit in the last place).
//
// Misc. info.
// For IEEE double
// if x > 7.09782712893383973096e+02 then exp(x) overflow
// if x < -7.45133219101941108420e+02 then exp(x) underflow
//
// 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.
