38 * RETURN THE BASE 10 LOGARITHM OF x
39 * DOUBLE PRECISION (VAX D format 56 bits, IEEE DOUBLE 53 BITS)
40 * CODED IN C BY K.C. NG, 1/20/85;
41 * REVISED BY K.C. NG on 1/23/85, 3/7/85, 4/16/85.
43 * Required kernel function:
48 * log10(x) = --------- or [1/log(10)]*log(x)
52 * [log(10)] rounded to 56 bits has error .0895 ulps,
53 * [1/log(10)] rounded to 53 bits has error .198 ulps;
54 * therefore, for better accuracy, in VAX D format, we divide
55 * log(x) by log(10), but in IEEE Double format, we multiply
56 * log(x) by [1/log(10)].
59 * log10(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0;
60 * log10(+INF) is +INF with no signal; log10(0) is -INF with signal;
61 * log10(NaN) is that NaN with no signal.
64 * log10(X) returns the exact log10(x) nearly rounded. In a test run
65 * with 1,536,000 random arguments on a VAX, the maximum observed
66 * error was 1.74 ulps (units in the last place).
69 * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
70 * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
71 * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
