/* Special free list

   Since some Python programs can spend much of their time allocating
   and deallocating floats, these operations should be very fast.
   Therefore we use a dedicated allocation scheme with a much lower
   overhead (in space and time) than straight malloc(): a simple
   dedicated free list, filled when necessary with memory from malloc().

   block_list is a singly-linked list of all PyFloatBlocks ever allocated,
   linked via their next members.  PyFloatBlocks are never returned to the
   system before shutdown (PyFloat_Fini).

   free_list is a singly-linked list of available PyFloatObjects, linked
   via abuse of their ob_type members.

     * For the sake of simplicity and correctness, we impose an artificial
     * limit on ndigits, the total number of hex digits in the coefficient
     * The limit is chosen to ensure that, writing exp for the exponent,
     *
     *   (1) if exp > LONG_MAX/2 then the value of the hex string is
     *   guaranteed to overflow (provided it's nonzero)
     *
     *   (2) if exp < LONG_MIN/2 then the value of the hex string is
     *   guaranteed to underflow to 0.
     *
     *   (3) if LONG_MIN/2 <= exp <= LONG_MAX/2 then there's no danger of
     *   overflow in the calculation of exp and top_exp below.
     *
     * More specifically, ndigits is assumed to satisfy the following
     * inequalities:
     *
     *   4*ndigits <= DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - LONG_MIN/2
     *   4*ndigits <= LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - DBL_MAX_EXP
     *
     * If either of these inequalities is not satisfied, a ValueError is
     * raised.  Otherwise, write x for the value of the hex string, and
     * assume x is nonzero.  Then
     *
     *   2**(exp-4*ndigits) <= |x| < 2**(exp+4*ndigits).
     *
     * Now if exp > LONG_MAX/2 then:
     *
     *   exp - 4*ndigits >= LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - (LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - DBL_MAX_EXP)
     *                    = DBL_MAX_EXP
     *
     * so |x| >= 2**DBL_MAX_EXP, which is too large to be stored in C
     * double, so overflows.  If exp < LONG_MIN/2, then
     *
     *   exp + 4*ndigits <= LONG_MIN/2 - 1 + (
     *                      DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - LONG_MIN/2)
     *                    = DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - 1
     *
     * and so |x| < 2**(DBL_MIN_EXP-DBL_MANT_DIG-1), hence underflows to 0
     * when converted to a C double.
     *
     * It's easy to show that if LONG_MIN/2 <= exp <= LONG_MAX/2 then both
     * exp+4*ndigits and exp-4*ndigits are within the range of a long.
