/****************************************************************
 * 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

   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]).

/* 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->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.  It will
           be at least 1.

        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.

        0 ==> shortest string that yields d when read in

        1 ==> like 0, but with Steele & White stopping rule;
        e.g. with IEEE P754 arithmetic , mode 0 gives
        1e23 whereas mode 1 gives 9.999999999999999e22.
        2 ==> max(1,ndigits) significant digits.  This gives a
        return value similar to that of ecvt, except
        that trailing zeros are suppressed.
        3 ==> through ndigits past the decimal point.  This
        gives a return value similar to that from fcvt,
        except that trailing zeros are suppressed, and
        ndigits can be negative.
        4,5 ==> similar to 2 and 3, respectively, but (in
        round-nearest mode) with the tests of mode 0 to
        possibly return a shorter string that rounds to d.
        With IEEE arithmetic and compilation with
        -DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS, modes 4 and 5 behave the same
        as modes 2 and 3 when FLT_ROUNDS != 1.
        6-9 ==> Debugging modes similar to mode - 4:  don't try
        fast floating-point estimate (if applicable).

        Values of mode other than 0-9 are treated as mode 0.

        Sufficient space is allocated to the return value
        to hold the suppressed trailing zeros.
