@* Introduction. The subroutines below are used to simulate 64-bit \MMIX\
arithmetic on an old-fashioned 32-bit computer---like the one the author
had when he wrote \MMIXAL\ and the first \MMIX\ simulators in 1998 and 1999.
All operations are fabricated from 32-bit arithmetic, including
a full implementation of the IEEE floating point standard,
assuming only that the \CEE/ compiler has a 32-bit unsigned integer type.

Some day 64-bit machines will be commonplace and the awkward manipulations of
the present program will look quite archaic. Interested readers who have such
computers will be able to convert the code to a pure 64-bit form without
difficulty, thereby obtaining much faster and simpler routines. Meanwhile,
however, we can simulate the future and hope for continued progress.

This program module has a simple structure, intended to make it
suitable for loading with \MMIX\ simulators and assemblers.

@ Subroutines of this program are declared first with a prototype,
as in {\mc ANSI C}, then with an old-style \CEE/ function definition.
Here are some preprocessor commands that make this work correctly with both
new-style and old-style compilers.

@* Multiplication. We need to multiply two unsigned 64-bit integers, obtaining
an unsigned 128-bit product. It is easy to do this on a 32-bit machine
by using Algorithm 4.3.1M of {\sl Seminumerical Algorithms}, with $b=2^{16}$.
@^multiprecision multiplication@>

The following subroutine returns the lower half of the product, and
puts the upper half into a global octabyte called |aux|.

@<Subr...@>=
octa omult @,@,@[ARGS((octa,octa))@];@+@t}\6{@>
octa omult(y,z)
  octa y,z;
{
  register int i,j,k;
  tetra u[4],v[4],w[8];
  register tetra t;
  octa acc;
  @<Unpack the multiplier and multiplicand to |u| and |v|@>;
  for (j=0;j<4;j++) w[j]=0;
  for (j=0;j<4;j++)
    if (!v[j]) w[j+4]=0;
    else {
      for (i=k=0;i<4;i++) {
        t=u[i]*v[j]+w[i+j]+k;
        w[i+j]=t&0xffff, k=t>>16;
      }
      w[j+4]=k;
    }
  @<Pack |w| into the outputs |aux| and |acc|@>;
  return acc;
}

@ @<Glob...@>=
extern octa aux; /* secondary output of subroutines with multiple outputs */
extern bool overflow;

@ @<Unpack the mult...@>=
u[3]=y.h>>16, u[2]=y.h&0xffff, u[1]= y.l>>16, u[0]=y.l&0xffff;

aux.h=(w[7]<<16)+w[6], aux.l=(w[5]<<16)+w[4];
acc.h=(w[3]<<16)+w[2], acc.l=(w[1]<<16)+w[0];

@ Signed multiplication has the same lower half product as unsigned
multiplication. The signed upper half product is obtained with at most two
further subtractions, after which the result has overflowed if and only if
the upper half is unequal to 64 copies of the sign bit in the lower half.

@<Subr...@>=

  overflow=(aux.h!=aux.l || (aux.h^(aux.h>>1)^(acc.h&sign_bit)));
  return acc;
}  

@* Division. Long division of an unsigned 128-bit integer by an unsigned
64-bit integer is, of course, one of the most challenging routines
needed for \MMIX\ arithmetic. The following program, based on
Algorithm 4.3.1D of {\sl Seminumerical Algorithms}, computes
octabytes $q$ and $r$ such that $(2^{64}x+y)=qz+r$ and $0\le r<z$,
given octabytes $x$, $y$, and~$z$, assuming that $x<z$.
(If $x\ge z$, it simply sets $q=x$ and $r=y$.)
The quotient~$q$ is returned by the subroutine;
the remainder~$r$ is stored in |aux|.

@ After this step, |u[j+n]| will either equal |k| or |k-1|. The

@* Floating point packing and unpacking. Standard IEEE floating binary
numbers pack a sign, exponent, and fraction into a tetrabyte
or octabyte. In this section we consider basic subroutines that
convert between IEEE format and the separate unpacked components.

@d ROUND_OFF 1
@d ROUND_UP 2
@d ROUND_DOWN 3
@d ROUND_NEAR 4

@<Glob...@>=
int cur_round; /* the current rounding mode */

@ The |fpack| routine takes an octabyte $f$, a raw exponent~$e$,
and a sign~|s|, and packs them
into the floating binary number that corresponds to
$\pm2^{e-1076}f$, using a given rounding mode.
The value of $f$ should satisfy $2^{54}\le f\le 2^{55}$.

Thus, for example, the floating binary number $+1.0=\Hex{3ff0000000000000}$
is obtained when $f=2^{54}$, $e=\Hex{3fe}$, and |s='+'|.
The raw exponent~$e$ is usually one less than
the final exponent value; the leading bit of~$f$ is essentially added
to the exponent. (This trick works nicely for subnormal numbers, when
$e<0$, or in cases where the value of $f$ is rounded upwards to $2^{55}$.)

Exceptional events are noted by oring appropriate bits into
the global variable |exceptions|. Special considerations apply to
underflow, which is not fully specified by Section 7.4 of the IEEE standard:
Implementations of the standard are free to choose between two definitions
of ``tininess'' and two definitions of ``accuracy loss.''
\MMIX\ determines tininess {\it after\/} rounding, hence a result with
$e<0$ is not necessarily tiny; \MMIX\ treats accuracy loss as equivalent
to inexactness. Thus, a result underflows if and only if
it is tiny and either (i)~it is inexact or (ii)~the underflow trap is enabled.
The |fpack| routine sets |U_BIT| in |exceptions| if and only if the result is
tiny, |X_BIT| if and only if the result is inexact.

our simulated 64-bit registers.

When $d>2$, the difference of fraction parts might not fit exactly
in an octabyte;
in that case the numbers are not similar unless $\epsilon>3/8$,
and we replace the difference by the ceiling of the
true result. When $\epsilon<1/8$, our program essentially replaces
$2^{55}\epsilon$ by $\lfloor2^{55}\epsilon\rfloor$. These
truncations are not needed simultaneously. Therefore the logic
is justified by the facts that, if $n$ is an integer, we have
$x\le n$ if and only if $\lceil x\rceil\le n$;
$n\le x$ if and only if $n\le\lfloor x\rfloor$. (Notice that the

digits when expressed in decimal notation. Thus, for example,
if the floating point number can be described by a relatively
short string such as `\.{.1}' or `\.{37e100}', we want to discover that
representation.

The basic idea is to generate the decimal representations of the
two endpoints of the interval, outputting the leading digits where
both endpoints agree, then making a final decision at the first place where
they disagree.

The ``simplest'' value is not always unique. For example, in the
case of 4-bit minifloat numbers we could represent the bit pattern 0001 as
either \.{.2} or \.{.3}, and we could represent 1001 in five equally short
ways: \.{2.3} or \.{2.4} or \.{2.5} or \.{2.6} or \.{2.7}. The
algorithm below tries to choose the middle possibility in such cases.

[A solution to the analogous problem for fixed-point representations,
without the additional complication of round-to-even, was used by
the author in the program for \TeX; see {\sl Beauty is Our Business\/}
(Springer, 1990), 233--242.]
@^Knuth, Donald Ervin@>

Suppose we are given two fractions $f$ and $g$, where $0\le f<g<1$, and
we want to compute the shortest decimal in the closed interval $[f\dts g]$.
If $f=0$, we are done. Otherwise let $10f=d+f'$ and $10g=e+g'$, where
$0\le f'<1$ and $0\le g'<1$. If $d<e$, we can terminate by outputting
any of the digits $d+1$, \dots,~$e$; otherwise we output the
common digit $d=e$, and repeat the process on the fractions $0\le f'<g'<1$.
A similar procedure works with respect to the open interval $(f\dts g)$.

@ The program below carries out the stated algorithm by using multiprecision
arithmetic on 77-place integers with 28 bits each. This choice
facilitates multiplication by~10, and allows us to deal with the whole range of
floating binary numbers using fixed point arithmetic. We keep track of
the leading and trailing digit positions so that trivial operations on
zeros are avoided.

If |f| points to a \&{bignum}, its radix-$2^{28}$ digits are
|f->dat[0]| through |f->dat[76]|, from most significant to least significant.
We assume that all digit positions are zero unless they lie in the
subarray between indices |f->a| and |f->b|, inclusive.
Furthermore, both |f->dat[f->a]| and |f->dat[f->b]| are nonzero,
unless |f->a=f->b=bignum_prec-1|.

The \&{bignum} data type can be used with any radix less than
$2^{32}$; we will use it later with radix~$10^9$. The |dat| array
is made large enough to accommodate both applications.

@d bignum_prec 157 /* would be 77 if we cared only about |print_float| */

@<Other type...@>=
typedef struct {
  int a; /* index of the most significant digit */
  int b; /* index of the least significant digit; must be $\ge a$ */
  tetra dat[bignum_prec]; /* the digits; undefined except between |a| and |b| */
} bignum;

@ Here, for example, is how we go from $f$ to $10f$, assuming that
overflow will not occur and that the radix is $2^{28}$:

@<Subr...@>=
static void bignum_times_ten(f)
  bignum *f;
{
  register tetra *p,*q; register tetra x,carry;
  for (p=&f->dat[f->b],q=&f->dat[f->a],carry=0; p>=q; p--) {
    x=*p*10+carry;
    *p=x&0xfffffff;
    carry=x>>28;
  }
  *p=carry;
  if (carry) f->a--;
  if (f->dat[f->b]==0 && f->b>f->a) f->b--;
}

@ And here is how we test whether $f<g$, $f=g$, or $f>g$, using any
radix whatever:

@<Subr...@>=
static int bignum_compare(f,g)
  bignum *f,*g;
{
  register tetra *p,*pp,*q,*qq;
  if (f->a!=g->a) return f->a > g->a? -1: 1;
  pp=&f->dat[f->b], qq=&g->dat[g->b];
  for (p=&f->dat[f->a],q=&g->dat[g->a]; p<=pp; p++,q++) {
    if (*p!=*q) return *p<*q? -1: 1;
    if (q==qq) return p<pp;
  }
  return -1;

@ Armed with these subroutines, we are ready to solve the problem.
The first task is to put the numbers into \&{bignum} form.
If the exponent is |e|, the number destined for digit |dat[k]| will
consist of the rightmost 28 bits of the given fraction after it has
been shifted right $c-e-28k$ bits, for some constant~$c$.
We choose $c$ so that,
when $e$ has its maximum value \Hex{7ff}, the leading digit will
go into position |dat[1]|, and so that when the number to be printed
is exactly~1 the integer part of~$g$ will also be exactly~1.

@d magic_offset 2112 /* the constant $c$ that makes it work */
@d origin 37 /* the radix point follows |dat[37]| */

@<Store $f$ and $g$ as multiprecise integers@>=
k=(magic_offset-e)/28;
ff.dat[k-1]=shift_right(f,magic_offset+28-e-28*k,1).l&0xfffffff;
gg.dat[k-1]=shift_right(g,magic_offset+28-e-28*k,1).l&0xfffffff;
ff.dat[k]=shift_right(f,magic_offset-e-28*k,1).l&0xfffffff;
gg.dat[k]=shift_right(g,magic_offset-e-28*k,1).l&0xfffffff;
ff.dat[k+1]=shift_left(f,e+28*k-(magic_offset-28)).l&0xfffffff;
gg.dat[k+1]=shift_left(g,e+28*k-(magic_offset-28)).l&0xfffffff;
ff.a=(ff.dat[k-1]? k-1: k);
ff.b=(ff.dat[k+1]? k+1: k);
gg.a=(gg.dat[k-1]? k-1: k);
gg.b=(gg.dat[k+1]? k+1: k);

@ If $e$ is sufficiently small, the fractions $f$ and $g$ will be less than~1,
and we can use the stated algorithm directly. Of course, if $e$ is
extremely small, a lot of leading zeros need to be lopped off; in the
worst case, we may have to multiply $f$ and~$g$ by~10 more than 300 times.
But hey, we don't need to do that extremely often, and computers are
pretty fast nowadays.

In the small-exponent case, the computation always terminates before
$f$ becomes zero, because the interval endpoints are fractions with
denominator $2^t$ for some $t>50$.

The invariant relations |ff.dat[ff.a]!=0| and |gg.dat[gg.a]!=0| are
not maintained by the computation here, when |ff.a=origin| or |gg.a=origin|.
But no harm is done, because |bignum_compare| is not used.

@<Compute the significant digits |s|...@>=
if (e>0x401) @<Compute the significant digits in the large-exponent case@>@;
else@+{ /* if |e<=0x401| we have |gg.a>=origin| and |gg.dat[origin]<=8| */
  if (ff.a>origin) ff.dat[origin]=0;
  for (e=1, p=s; gg.a>origin || ff.dat[origin]==gg.dat[origin]; ) {
    if (gg.a>origin) e--;
    else *p++=ff.dat[origin]+'0', ff.dat[origin]=0, gg.dat[origin]=0;
    bignum_times_ten(&ff);
    bignum_times_ten(&gg);
  }
  *p++=((ff.dat[origin]+1+gg.dat[origin])>>1)+'0'; /* the middle digit */
}
*p='\0'; /* terminate the string |s| */

@ When |e| is large, we use the stated algorithm by considering $f$ and
$g$ to be fractions whose denominator is a power of~10.

An interesting case arises when the number to be converted is
\Hex{44ada56a4b0835bf}, since the interval turns out to be
$$ (69999999999999991611392\ \ \dts\ \ 70000000000000000000000).$$
If this were a closed interval, we could simply give the answer
\.{7e22}; but the number \.{7e22} actually corresponds to
\Hex{44ada56a4b0835c0}
because of the round-to-even rule. Therefore the correct answer is, say,
\.{6.9999999999999995e22}. This example shows that we need a slightly
different strategy in the case of open intervals; we cannot simply
look at the first position in which the endpoints have different
decimal digits. Therefore we change the invariant relation to $0\le f<g\le 1$,
when open intervals are involved,
and we do not terminate the process when $f=0$ or $g=1$.

@<Compute the significant digits in the large-exponent case@>=
{@+register int open=x.l&1;

@ The length of string~|s| will be at most 17. For if $f$ and $g$
agree to 17 places, we have $g/f<1+10^{-16}$; but the
ratio $g/f$ is always $\ge(1+2^{-52}+2^{-53})/(1+2^{-52}-2^{-53})
>1+2\times10^{-16}$.

@ At this point the significant digits are in string |s|, and |s[0]!='0'|.
If we put a decimal point at the left of~|s|, the result should
be multiplied by $10^e$.

We prefer the output `\.{300.}' to the form `\.{3e2}', and we prefer
`\.{.03}' to `\.{3e-2}'. In general, the output will use an
explicit exponent only if the alternative would take more than
18~characters.

@<Print the significant digits with proper context@>=

equivalent. The following syntax is supported:

        \.5\mid\.6\mid\.7\mid\.8\mid\.9\cr

\<floating constant>\is\<optional sign>\<floating magnitude>\cr
\<decimal constant>\is\<optional sign>\<digit string>\cr
}}$$
For example, `\.{-3.}' is the floating constant \Hex{c008000000000000}\thinspace;
`\.{1e3}' and `\.{1000}' are both equivalent to \Hex{408f400000000000}\thinspace;
`\.{NaN}' and `\.{+NaN.5}' are both equivalent to \Hex{7ff8000000000000}.

The |scan_const| routine looks at a given string and finds the
longest initial substring that matches the syntax of either \<decimal
constant> or \<floating constant>. It puts the corresponding value
into the global octabyte variable~|val|; it also puts the position of the first
unscanned character in the global pointer variable |next_char|.
It returns 1 if a floating constant was found, 0~if a decimal constant
was found, $-1$ if nothing was found. A decimal constant that doesn't
fit in an octabyte is computed modulo~$2^{64}$.

@ We saw above that a string of at most 17 digits is enough to characterize
a floating point number, for purposes of output. But a much longer buffer
for digits is needed when we're doing input. For example, consider the
borderline quantity $(1+2^{-53})/2^{1022}$; its decimal expansion, when
written out exactly, is a number with more than 750 significant digits:
\.{2.2250738585...8125e-308}.
If {\it any one\/} of those digits is increased, or if
additional nonzero digits are added as in
\.{2.2250738585...81250000001e-308},
the rounded value is supposed to change from \Hex{0010000000000000}
to \Hex{0010000000000001}.

@ The square root can be found by an adaptation of the old pencil-and-paper
method. If $n=\lfloor\sqrt s\rfloor$, where $s$ is an integer,
we have $s=n^2+r$ where $0\le r\le2n$;
this invariant can be maintained if we replace $s$ by $4s+(0,1,2,3)$
and $n$ by $2n+(0,1)$. The following code implements this idea with
$2n$ in~|xf| and $r$ in~|rf|. (It could easily be made to run about
twice as fast.)

@ And finally, the genuine floating point remainder. Subroutine |fremstep|
either calculates $y\,{\rm rem}\,z$ or reduces $y$ to a smaller number
having the same remainder with respect to~$z$. In the latter case
the |E_BIT| is set in |exceptions|. A third parameter, |delta|,
gives a decrease in exponent that is acceptable for incomplete results;
if |delta| is sufficiently large, say 2500, the correct result will
always be obtained in one step of |fremstep|.

@ If there's a huge difference in exponents and the remainder is nonzero,
this computation will take a long time. One could compute 
$(2^ny)\,{\rm rem}\,z$ much more quickly for large~$n$ by using $O(\log n)$
multiplications modulo~$z$, but the floating remainder operation isn't
important enough to justify such expensive hardware.

Results of floating remainder are always exact, so the rounding mode
is immaterial.
