float IEEESPLog ()
- SYNOPSIS
- float y
- FUNCTION
- Calculate logarithm (base e) of the given IEEE single precision number
- INPUTS
- y
- IEEE single precision floating point number
- RESULT
- IEEE single precision number
flags:
zero : result is zero
negative : result is negative
overflow : argument was negative

- ALGORITHM:
If the Argument is negative set overflow-flag and return 0.
If the Argument is 0 return 0xffffffff.
All other cases:
(ld is the logarithm with base 2)
(ln is the logarithm with base e)
y = M * 2^E
ln y = ln ( M * 2^E ) =
= ln M + ln 2^E =
= ln M + E * ln (2) =
ld M ld 2
= ----- + E * ----- = [ld 2 = 1]
ld e ld e
ld M + E
= --------
ld e
ld e can be precalculated, of course.
For calculating ld M see file intern_ieeespld.c
