                     32:  * Method:
                     33:  *     1. Argument Reduction: given the input x, find r and integer k such

                     35:  *                        x = k*ln2 + r,  |r| <= 0.5*ln2 .  
                     36:  *        r will be represented as r := z+c for better accuracy.
                     37:  *
                     38:  *     2. Compute expm1(r)=exp(r)-1 by 
                     39:  *
                     40:  *                     expm1(r=z+c) := z + exp__E(z,r)
                     41:  *
                     42:  *     3. exp(x) = 2^k * ( expm1(r) + 1 ).
                     43:  *
                     44:  * Special cases:
                     45:  *     exp(INF) is INF, exp(NaN) is NaN;
                     46:  *     exp(-INF)=  0;
                     47:  *     for finite argument, only exp(0)=1 is exact.
                     48:  *
                     49:  * Accuracy:
                     50:  *     exp(x) returns the exponential of x nearly rounded. In a test run
                     51:  *     with 1,156,000 random arguments on a VAX, the maximum observed
                     52:  *     error was .768 ulps (units in the last place).
                     53:  *
                     54:  * Constants:
                     55:  * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
                     56:  * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
                     57:  * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
                     58:  * shown.
