/****************************************************************
 * This is dtoa.c by David M. Gay, downloaded from
 * http://www.netlib.org/fp/dtoa.c on April 15, 2009 and modified for
 * inclusion into the Python core by Mark E. T. Dickinson and Eric V. Smith.
 *
 * Please remember to check http://www.netlib.org/fp regularly (and especially
 * before any Python release) for bugfixes and updates.
 *
 * The major modifications from Gay's original code are as follows:
 *
 *  0. The original code has been specialized to Python's needs by removing
 *     many of the #ifdef'd sections.  In particular, code to support VAX and
 *     IBM floating-point formats, hex NaNs, hex floats, locale-aware
 *     treatment of the decimal point, and setting of the inexact flag have
 *     been removed.
 *
 *  1. We use PyMem_Malloc and PyMem_Free in place of malloc and free.
 *
 *  2. The public functions strtod, dtoa and freedtoa all now have
 *     a _Py_dg_ prefix.
 *
 *  3. Instead of assuming that PyMem_Malloc always succeeds, we thread
 *     PyMem_Malloc failures through the code.  The functions
 *
 *       Balloc, multadd, s2b, i2b, mult, pow5mult, lshift, diff, d2b
 *
 *     of return type *Bigint all return NULL to indicate a malloc failure.
 *     Similarly, rv_alloc and nrv_alloc (return type char *) return NULL on
 *     failure.  bigcomp now has return type int (it used to be void) and
 *     returns -1 on failure and 0 otherwise.  _Py_dg_dtoa returns NULL
 *     on failure.  _Py_dg_strtod indicates failure due to malloc failure
 *     by returning -1.0, setting errno=ENOMEM and *se to s00.
 *
 *  4. The static variable dtoa_result has been removed.  Callers of
 *     _Py_dg_dtoa are expected to call _Py_dg_freedtoa to free
 *     the memory allocated by _Py_dg_dtoa.
 *
 *  5. The code has been reformatted to better fit with Python's
 *     C style guide (PEP 7).
 *
 *  6. A bug in the memory allocation has been fixed: to avoid FREEing memory
 *     that hasn't been MALLOC'ed, private_mem should only be used when k <=
 *     Kmax.
 *
 *  7. _Py_dg_strtod has been modified so that it doesn't accept strings with
 *     leading whitespace.
 *

/* On a machine with IEEE extended-precision registers, it is
 * necessary to specify double-precision (53-bit) rounding precision
 * before invoking strtod or dtoa.  If the machine uses (the equivalent
 * of) Intel 80x87 arithmetic, the call
 *      _control87(PC_53, MCW_PC);
 * does this with many compilers.  Whether this or another call is
 * appropriate depends on the compiler; for this to work, it may be
 * necessary to #include "float.h" or another system-dependent header
 * file.
 */

/* strtod for IEEE-, VAX-, and IBM-arithmetic machines.
 *
 * This strtod returns a nearest machine number to the input decimal
 * string (or sets errno to ERANGE).  With IEEE arithmetic, ties are
 * broken by the IEEE round-even rule.  Otherwise ties are broken by
 * biased rounding (add half and chop).
 *
 * Inspired loosely by William D. Clinger's paper "How to Read Floating
 * Point Numbers Accurately" [Proc. ACM SIGPLAN '90, pp. 92-101].
 *
 * Modifications:
 *
 *      1. We only require IEEE, IBM, or VAX double-precision
 *              arithmetic (not IEEE double-extended).
 *      2. We get by with floating-point arithmetic in a case that
 *              Clinger missed -- when we're computing d * 10^n
 *              for a small integer d and the integer n is not too
 *              much larger than 22 (the maximum integer k for which
 *              we can represent 10^k exactly), we may be able to
 *              compute (d*10^k) * 10^(e-k) with just one roundoff.
 *      3. Rather than a bit-at-a-time adjustment of the binary
 *              result in the hard case, we use floating-point
 *              arithmetic to determine the adjustment to within
 *              one bit; only in really hard cases do we need to
 *              compute a second residual.
 *      4. Because of 3., we don't need a large table of powers of 10
 *              for ten-to-e (just some small tables, e.g. of 10^k
 *              for 0 <= k <= 22).

/* struct Bigint is used to represent arbitrary-precision integers.  These
   integers are stored in sign-magnitude format, with the magnitude stored as
   an array of base 2**32 digits.  Bigints are always normalized: if x is a
   Bigint then x->wds >= 1, and either x->wds == 1 or x[wds-1] is nonzero.

   The Bigint fields are as follows:

     - next is a header used by Balloc and Bfree to keep track of lists
         of freed Bigints;  it's also used for the linked list of
         powers of 5 of the form 5**2**i used by pow5mult.
     - k indicates which pool this Bigint was allocated from
     - maxwds is the maximum number of words space was allocated for
       (usually maxwds == 2**k)
     - sign is 1 for negative Bigints, 0 for positive.  The sign is unused
       (ignored on inputs, set to 0 on outputs) in almost all operations
       involving Bigints: a notable exception is the diff function, which
       ignores signs on inputs but sets the sign of the output correctly.
     - wds is the actual number of significant words
     - x contains the vector of words (digits) for this Bigint, from least
       significant (x[0]) to most significant (x[wds-1]).

   pointing to the head of the list for pool k.

   On allocation, if there's no free slot in the appropriate pool, MALLOC is
   called to get more memory.  This memory is not returned to the system until
   Python quits.  There's also a private memory pool that's allocated from
   in preference to using MALLOC.

   For Bigints with more than (1 << Kmax) digits (which implies at least 1233
   decimal digits), memory is directly allocated using MALLOC, and freed using
   FREE.

   XXX: it would be easy to bypass this memory-management system and

/* The bigcomp function handles some hard cases for strtod, for inputs
   with more than STRTOD_DIGLIM digits.  It's called once an initial
   estimate for the double corresponding to the input string has
   already been obtained by the code in _Py_dg_strtod.

   The bigcomp function is only called after _Py_dg_strtod has found a
   double value rv such that either rv or rv + 1ulp represents the
   correctly rounded value corresponding to the original string.  It
   determines which of these two values is the correct one by
   computing the decimal digits of rv + 0.5ulp and comparing them with
   the corresponding digits of s0.

   In the following, write dv for the absolute value of the number represented
   by the input string.

   Inputs:

     s0 points to the first significant digit of the input string.

     rv is a (possibly scaled) estimate for the closest double value to the
        value represented by the original input to _Py_dg_strtod.  If
        bc->scale is nonzero, then rv/2^(bc->scale) is the approximation to
        the input value.

     bc is a struct containing information gathered during the parsing and
        estimation steps of _Py_dg_strtod.  Description of fields follows:

        bc->dp0 gives the position of the decimal point in the input string
           (if any), relative to the start of s0.  If there's no decimal
           point, it points to one past the last significant digit.

        bc->dp1 gives the position immediately following the decimal point in
           the input string, relative to the start of s0.  If there's no
           decimal point, it points to one past the last significant digit.

        bc->dplen gives the length of the decimal separator.  In the current
           implementation, which only allows '.' as a decimal separator, it's
           1 if a separator is present in the significant digits of s0, and 0
           otherwise.

        bc->dsign is 1 if rv < decimal value, 0 if rv >= decimal value.  In
           normal use, it should almost always be 1 when bigcomp is entered.

        bc->e0 gives the exponent of the input value, such that dv = (integer
           given by the bd->nd digits of s0) * 10**e0

        bc->nd gives the total number of significant digits of s0.

        bc->nd0 gives the number of significant digits of s0 before the
           decimal separator.  If there's no decimal separator, bc->nd0 ==
           bc->nd.

        bc->scale is the value used to scale rv to avoid doing arithmetic with
           subnormal values.  It's either 0 or 2*P (=106).

   Outputs:

     On successful exit, rv/2^(bc->scale) is the closest double to dv.

     Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure (e.g., due to a failed malloc call). */

 * Inspired by "How to Print Floating-Point Numbers Accurately" by
 * Guy L. Steele, Jr. and Jon L. White [Proc. ACM SIGPLAN '90, pp. 112-126].
 *
 * Modifications:
 *      1. Rather than iterating, we use a simple numeric overestimate
 *         to determine k = floor(log10(d)).  We scale relevant
 *         quantities using O(log2(k)) rather than O(k) multiplications.
 *      2. For some modes > 2 (corresponding to ecvt and fcvt), we don't
 *         try to generate digits strictly left to right.  Instead, we
 *         compute with fewer bits and propagate the carry if necessary
 *         when rounding the final digit up.  This is often faster.
 *      3. Under the assumption that input will be rounded nearest,
 *         mode 0 renders 1e23 as 1e23 rather than 9.999999999999999e22.
 *         That is, we allow equality in stopping tests when the
 *         round-nearest rule will give the same floating-point value
 *         as would satisfaction of the stopping test with strict
 *         inequality.
 *      4. We remove common factors of powers of 2 from relevant
 *         quantities.
 *      5. When converting floating-point integers less than 1e16,
 *         we use floating-point arithmetic rather than resorting
 *         to multiple-precision integers.
 *      6. When asked to produce fewer than 15 digits, we first try
 *         to get by with floating-point arithmetic; we resort to
 *         multiple-precision integer arithmetic only if we cannot
 *         guarantee that the floating-point calculation has given
 *         the correctly rounded result.  For k requested digits and
 *         "uniformly" distributed input, the probability is
 *         something like 10^(k-15) that we must resort to the Long
 *         calculation.
