%
% The \pkg{l3fp-basics} module implements addition, subtraction,
% multiplication, and division of two floating points, and the absolute
% value and sign-changing operations on one floating point.
% All operations implemented in this module yield the outcome of
% rounding the infinitely precise result of the operation to the
% nearest floating point.
%
% Some algorithms used below end up being quite similar to some
% described in \enquote{What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About
%   Floating Point Arithmetic}, by David Goldberg, which can be found at
% \texttt{http://cr.yp.to/2005-590/goldberg.pdf}.

%     \@@_basics_pack_high:NNNNNw,

%   }
%   Addition and multiplication of significands are done in two steps:
%   first compute a (more or less) exact result, then round and pack
%   digits in the final (braced) form.  These functions take care of the
%   packing, with special attention given to the case where rounding has
%   caused a carry.  Since rounding can only shift the final digit by
%   $1$, a carry always produces an exact power of $10$.  Thus,
%   \cs{@@_basics_pack_high_carry:w} is always followed by four times
%   |{0000}|.

%
% \subsection{Addition and subtraction}
%
% We define here two functions, \cs{@@_-_o:ww} and \cs{@@_+_o:ww}, which
% perform the subtraction and addition of their two floating point
% operands, and expand the tokens following the result once.
%
% A more obscure function, \cs{@@_add_big_i_o:wNww}, is used in
% \pkg{l3fp-expo}.
%
% The logic goes as follows:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item \cs{@@_-_o:ww} calls \cs{@@_+_o:ww} to do the work, with the
%     sign of the second operand flipped;
%   \item \cs{@@_+_o:ww} dispatches depending on the type of floating
%     point, calling specialized auxiliaries;
%   \item in all cases except summing two normal floating point numbers,
%     we return one or the other operands depending on the signs, or
%     detect an invalid operation in the case of $\infty - \infty$;
%   \item for normal floating point numbers, compare the signs;
%   \item to add two floating point numbers of the same sign or of
%     opposite signs, shift the significand of the smaller one to match the
%     bigger one, perform the addition or subtraction of significands,
%     check for a carry, round, and pack using the
%     |\__fp_basics_pack_...| functions.
% \end{itemize}
% The trickiest part is to round correctly when adding or subtracting
% normal floating point numbers.
%
% \subsubsection{Sign, exponent, and special numbers}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_-_o:ww}
%   A previous version of this function grabbed its two operands,
%   changed the sign of the second, and called \cs{@@_+_o:ww}.  However,
%   for efficiency reasons, the operands were swapped in the process,
%   which means that error messages ended up wrong.  Now, the
%   \cs{@@_+_o:ww} auxiliary has a hook: it takes one argument between
%   the first \cs{s_@@} and \cs{@@_chk:w}, which is applied to the sign
%   of the second operand.  Positioning the hook there means that
%   \cs{@@_+_o:ww} can still check that it was followed by \cs{s_@@} and
%   not arbitrary junk.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_nopar:cpx { @@_-_o:ww } \s_@@
  {
    \exp_not:c { @@_+_o:ww }
    \exp_not:n { \s_@@ \@@_neg_sign:N }
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_+_o:ww}
%   This function is either called directly with an empty |#1| to
%   compute an addition, or it is called by \cs{@@_-_o:ww} with
%   \cs{@@_neg_sign:N} as |#1| to compute a subtraction (equivalent to
%   changing the \meta{sign_2} of the second operand).  If the
%   \meta{types} |#2| and |#4| are the same, dispatch to case |#2| ($0$,
%   $1$, $2$, or $3$), where we call specialized functions: thanks to
%   \cs{__int_value:w}, those receive the tweaked \meta{sign_2}
%   (expansion of |#1#5|) as an argument.  If the \meta{types} are
%   distinct, the result is simply the floating point number with the
%   highest \meta{type}.  Since case $3$ (used for two \texttt{nan})
%   also picks the first operand, we can also use it when \meta{type_1}
%   is greater than \meta{type_2}.  Also note that we don't need to
%   worry about \meta{sign_2} in that case since the second operand is
%   discarded.

%   Since we are doing an addition, the final sign is \meta{sign_1}.
%   Start an \cs{__int_eval:w}, responsible for computing the exponent:

%   \cs{@@_sanitize:Nw} which checks for overflow.  The exponent is
%   computed as the largest exponent |#2| or |#5|, incremented if there
%   is a carry.  To add the significands, we decimate the smaller number by
%   the difference between the exponents.  This is done by
%   \cs{@@_add_big_i:wNww} or \cs{@@_add_big_ii:wNww}.  We need to bring

%   If both numbers are normal, go to case $0$
%   (same sign) or case $1$ (opposite signs): in both cases, call

%   which the first operand is discarded (note the weird interaction

%   first number is normal and the second is zero: this goes to cases
%   $4$ and $5$ for multiplication, $10$ and $11$ for division.
%   Otherwise, we do a computation which

%   case $4$ or $5$ depending on the combined sign, the products

% \subsubsection{Work plan}
%
% In this subsection, we explain how to avoid overflowing \TeX{}'s
% integers when performing the division of two positive normal numbers.
%
% We are given two numbers, $A=0.A_{1}A_{2}A_{3}A_{4}$ and
% $Z=0.Z_{1}Z_{2}Z_{3}Z_{4}$, in blocks of $4$ digits, and we know that
% the first digits of $A_{1}$ and of $Z_{1}$ are non-zero. To compute
% $A/Z$, we proceed as follows.
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item Find an integer $Q_{A} \simeq 10^{4} A / Z$.
%   \item Replace $A$ by $B = 10^{4} A - Q_{A} Z$.
%   \item Find an integer $Q_{B} \simeq 10^{4} B / Z$.
%   \item Replace $B$ by $C = 10^{4} B - Q_{B} Z$.
%   \item Find an integer $Q_{C} \simeq 10^{4} C / Z$.
%   \item Replace $C$ by $D = 10^{4} C - Q_{C} Z$.
%   \item Find an integer $Q_{D} \simeq 10^{4} D / Z$.
%   \item Consider $E = 10^{4} D - Q_{D} Z$, and ensure
%     correct rounding.
% \end{itemize}
% The result is then $Q = 10^{-4} Q_{A} + 10^{-8} Q_{B} + 10^{-12} Q_{C}
% + 10^{-16} Q_{D} + \text{rounding}$.  Since the $Q_{i}$ are integers,
% $B$, $C$, $D$, and~$E$ are all exact multiples of $10^{-16}$, in other
% words, computing with $16$ digits after the decimal separator yields
% exact results.  The problem will be overflow: in general $B$, $C$,
% $D$, and $E$ may be greater than $1$.
%
% Unfortunately, things are not as easy as they seem.  In particular, we
% want all intermediate steps to be positive, since negative results
% would require extra calculations at the end.  This requires that
% $Q_{A} \leq 10^{4} A / Z$ \emph{etc.}  A reasonable attempt would be
% to define $Q_{A}$ as
% \begin{equation*}
%   \cs{int_eval:n} \left\{
%     \frac{ A_{1} A_{2} }{ Z_{1} + 1 } - 1 \right\}
%   \leq 10^{4} \frac{A}{Z}
% \end{equation*}
% Subtracting $1$ at the end takes care of the fact that \eTeX{}'s
% \cs{__int_eval:w} rounds divisions instead of truncating (really,
% $1/2$ would be sufficient, but we work with integers).  We add $1$ to
% $Z_{1}$ because $Z_{1} \leq 10^{4}Z < Z_{1}+1$ and we need $Q_{A}$ to
% be an underestimate.  However, we are now underestimating $Q_{A}$ too
% much: it can be wrong by up to $100$, for instance when $Z = 0.1$ and
% $A \simeq 1$.  Then $B$ could take values up to $10$ (maybe more), and
% a few steps down the line, we would run into arithmetic overflow,
% since \TeX{} can only handle integers less than roughly $2\cdot
% 10^{9}$.
%
% A better formula is to take
% \begin{equation*}
%   Q_{A} = \cs{int_eval:n} \left\{
%     \frac{ 10 \cdot A_{1} A_{2} }
%       { \left\lfloor 10^{-3} \cdot Z_{1} Z_{2} \right\rfloor + 1 }
%     - 1 \right\}.
% \end{equation*}
% This is always less than $10^{9} A / (10^{5} Z)$, as we wanted.  In
% words, we take the $5$ first digits of $Z$ into account, and the $8$
% first digits of $A$, using $0$ as a $9$-th digit rather than the true
% digit for efficiency reasons.  We shall prove that using this formula
% to define all the $Q_{i}$ avoids any overflow.  For convenience, let
% us denote
% \begin{equation*}
%   y = \left\lfloor 10^{-3} \cdot Z_{1} Z_{2} \right\rfloor + 1,
% \end{equation*}
% so that, taking into account the fact that \eTeX{} rounds ties away
% from zero,
% \begin{align*}
%   Q_{A}
%   &= \left\lfloor \frac{A_{1}A_{2}0}{y} - \frac{1}{2} \right\rfloor
%   \\
%   &>\frac{A_{1}A_{2}0}{y} - \frac{3}{2}.
% \end{align*}
% Note that $10^{4}<y\leq 10^{5}$, and $999 \leq Q_{A} \leq 99989$.
% Also note that this formula does not cause an overflow as long as $A <
% (2^{31}-1) / 10^{9} \simeq 2.147\cdots$, since the numerator involves an
% integer slightly smaller than $10^{9} A$.
%
% Let us bound $B$:
% \begin{align*}
%   10^{5} B
%   &=
%   A_{1}A_{2}0 + 10 \cdot 0.A_{3}A_{4}
%   - 10 \cdot Z_{1}.Z_{2}Z_{3}Z_{4} \cdot Q_{A}
%   \\
%   &<
%   A_{1}A_{2}0
%   \cdot \left( 1 - 10 \cdot \frac{Z_{1}.Z_{2}Z_{3}Z_{4}}{y} \right)
%   + \frac{3}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot Z_{1}.Z_{2}Z_{3}Z_{4} + 10
%   \\
%   &\leq
%   \frac{A_{1}A_{2}0 \cdot (y - 10 \cdot Z_{1}.Z_{2}Z_{3}Z_{4})}{y}
%   + \frac{3}{2} y + 10
%   \\
%   &\leq
%   \frac{A_{1}A_{2}0\cdot 1}{y} + \frac{3}{2} y + 10
%   \leq
%   \frac{10^{9} A}{y} + 1.6\cdot y.
% \end{align*}
% At the last step, we hide $10$ into the second term for later
% convenience.  The same reasoning yields
% \begin{align*}
%   10^{5} B &< 10^{9} A/y + 1.6 y, \\
%   10^{5} C &< 10^{9} B/y + 1.6 y, \\
%   10^{5} D &< 10^{9} C/y + 1.6 y, \\
%   10^{5} E &< 10^{9} D/y + 1.6 y. \\
% \end{align*}
% The goal is now to prove that none of $B$, $C$, $D$, and $E$ can go
% beyond $(2^{31}-1) / 10^{9} = 2.147\cdots$.
%
% Combining the various inequalities together with $A<1$, we get
% \begin{align*}
%   10^{5} B &< 10^{9}/y + 1.6 y, \\
%   10^{5} C &< 10^{13}/y^{2} + 1.6 (y + 10^{4}), \\
%   10^{5} D &< 10^{17}/y^{3} + 1.6 (y + 10^{4} + 10^{8}/y), \\
%   10^{5} E &< 10^{21}/y^{4} + 1.6 (y + 10^{4} + 10^{8}/y + 10^{12}/y^{2}). \\
% \end{align*}
% All of those bounds are convex functions of $y$ (since every power of
% $y$ involved is convex, and the coefficients are positive), and thus
% maximal at one of the end-points of the allowed range $10^{4} < y \leq
% 10^{5}$.  Thus,
% \begin{align*}
%   10^{5} B &< \mathrm{max} ( 1.16\cdot 10^{5}, 1.7 \cdot 10^{5}), \\
%   10^{5} C &< \mathrm{max} ( 1.32\cdot 10^{5}, 1.77 \cdot 10^{5}), \\
%   10^{5} D &< \mathrm{max} ( 1.48\cdot 10^{5}, 1.777 \cdot 10^{5}), \\
%   10^{5} E &< \mathrm{max} ( 1.64\cdot 10^{5}, 1.7777 \cdot 10^{5}). \\
% \end{align*}
% All of those bounds are less than $2.147\cdot 10^{5}$, and we are thus
% within \TeX{}'s bounds in all cases!
%
% We will later need to have a bound on the $Q_{i}$. Their definitions
% imply that $Q_{A} < 10^{9} A/y - 1/2 < 10^{5} A$ and similarly for the
% other $Q_{i}$.  Thus, all of them are less than $177770$.
%
% The last step is to ensure correct rounding. We have
% \begin{equation*}
%   A/Z = \sum_{i=1}^{4} \left(10^{-4i} Q_{i}\right) + 10^{-16} E/Z
% \end{equation*}
% exactly.  Furthermore, we know that the result will be in $[0.1,10)$,
% hence will be rounded to a multiple of $10^{-16}$ or of $10^{-15}$, so
% we only need to know the integer part of $E/Z$, and a
% \enquote{rounding} digit encoding the rest.  Equivalently, we need to
% find the integer part of $2E/Z$, and determine whether it was an
% exact integer or not (this serves to detect ties).  Since
% \begin{equation*}
%   \frac{2E}{Z} = 2\frac{10^{5} E}{10^{5} Z}
%   \leq 2\frac{10^{5} E}{10^{4}} < 36,
% \end{equation*}
% this integer part is between $0$ and $35$ inclusive. We let \eTeX{}
% round
% \begin{equation*}
%   P = \cs{int_eval:n} \left\{
%     \frac{2\cdot E_{1}E_{2}}{Z_{1}Z_{2}} \right\},
% \end{equation*}
% which differs from $2E/Z$ by at most
% \begin{equation*}
%   \frac{1}{2}
%   + 2 \left\lvert \frac{E}{Z} - \frac{E}{10^{-8} Z_{1}Z_{2}}\right\rvert
%   + 2 \left\lvert \frac{10^{8} E - E_{1}E_{2}}{Z_{1}Z_{2}}\right\rvert
%   < 1,
% \end{equation*}
% ($1/2$ comes from \eTeX{}'s rounding) because each absolute value is
% less than $10^{-7}$.  Thus $P$ is either the correct integer part, or
% is off by $1$; furthermore, if $2 E / Z$ is an integer, $P = 2 E / Z$.
% We will check the sign of $2 E - P Z$.  If it is negative, then $E / Z
% \in \big((P - 1) / 2, P / 2\big)$.  If it is zero, then $E / Z = P /
% 2$.  If it is positive, then $E / Z \in \big(P / 2, (P - 1) / 2\big)$.
% In each case, we know how to round to an integer, depending on the
% parity of $P$, and the rounding mode.

%
%   We know that $0<Q_{A}<1.8\cdot 10^{5}$, so the product of $Q_{A}$

%   tests within the computation, but since we added a
%   \meta{continuation}, this is not possible because the macro has $9$
%   parameters.
%
%   The result we want is then (the overall power of $10$ is arbitrary):
%   \begin{align*}
%     &10^{-4} ( \#2 - \#1 \cdot \#5 - 10 \cdot \meta{i} \cdot \#5\#6 )
%     + 10^{-8} ( \#3 - \#1 \cdot \#6 - 10 \cdot \meta{i} \cdot \#7 ) \\
%     &+ 10^{-12}( \#4 - \#1 \cdot \#7 - 10 \cdot \meta{i} \cdot \#8 )
%     + 10^{-16}(     - \#1 \cdot \#8 ),
%   \end{align*}
%   where \meta{i} stands for the $10^{5}$ digit of $Q_{A}$, which is
%   $0$ or~$1$, and $\#1$, $\#2$, \emph{etc.\@} are the parameters of
%   either auxiliary.  The factors of $10$ come from the fact that
%   $Q_{A} = 10\cdot 10^{4} \cdot \meta{i} + \#1$.  As usual, to combine
%   all the terms, we need to choose some shifts which must ensure that
%   the number of digits of the second, third, and fourth terms are each
%   fixed.  Here, the positive contributions are at most $10^{8}$ and
%   the negative contributions can go up to $10^{9}$.  Indeed, for the
%   auxiliary with $\meta{i}=1$, |#1| is at most $80000$, leading to
%   contributions of at worse $-8\cdot 10^{8}4$, while the other
%   negative term is very small $<10^{6}$ (except in the first
%   expression, where we don't care about the number of digits); for the
%   auxiliary with $\meta{i}=0$, |#1| can go up to $99999$, but there is
%   no other negative term.  Hence, a good choice is $2\cdot 10^{9}$,
%   which produces totals in the range $[10^{9}, 2.1\cdot 10^{9}]$.  We
%   are flirting with \TeX{}'s limits once more.

%   This adds to the current expression ($10^{7} + 10\cdot Q_{D}$) a
%   contribution of $5 \cdot P + \operatorname{sign}(T)$ with $T = 2 E -
%   P Z$.  This amounts to adding $P / 2$ to $Q_{D}$, with an extra
%   \meta{rounding} digit.  This \meta{rounding} digit is $0$ or $5$ if
%   $T$ does not contribute, \emph{i.e.,} if $0 = T = 2 E - P Z$, in
%   other words if $10^{16} A / Z$ is an integer or half-integer.
%   Otherwise it is in the appropriate range, $[1,4]$ or $[6,9]$.  This
%   is precise enough for rounding purposes (in any mode).
%
%   It seems an overkill to compute $T$ exactly as I do here, but I see
%   no faster way right now.
%
%   Once more, we need to be careful and show that the calculation
%   $\#1\cdot\#6\#7$ below does not cause an overflow: naively, $P$ can
%   be up to $35$, and $\#6\#7$ up to $10^{8}$, but both cannot happen
%   simultaneously.  To show that things are fine, we split in two
%   (non-disjoint) cases.
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item For $P < 10$, the product obeys $P\cdot\#6\#7 < 10^{8} \cdot P
%     < 10^{9} $.
%   \item For large $P\geq 3$, the rounding error on $P$, which is at
%     most $1$, is less than a factor of $2$, hence $P\leq 4E/Z$.  Also,
%     $\#6\#7 \leq 10^{8} \cdot Z$, hence $P\cdot \#6\#7 \leq 4E\cdot
%     10^{8} < 10^{9}$.
%   \end{itemize}
%   Both inequalities could be made tighter if needed.
%
%   Note however that $P\cdot \#8\#9$ may overflow, since the two
%   factors are now independent, and the result may reach $3.5\cdot
%   10^{9}$.  Thus we compute the two lower levels separately.  The rest
%   is standard, except that we use |+| as a separator (ending integer
%   expressions explicitly).  $T$ is negative if the first character is
%   |-|, it is positive if the first character is neither |0| nor |-|.
%   It is also positive if the first character is |0| and second
%   argument of \cs{@@_div_significand_vi:Nw}, a sum of several terms, is
%   also zero.  Otherwise, there was an exact agreement: $T = 0$.

%   Newton's method maps $x\mapsto\bigl[(x + [10^{8} a_1 / x])/2\bigr]$
%   in each iteration, where $[b/c]$ denotes \eTeX{}'s division.  This
%   division rounds the real number $b/c$ to the closest integer,
%   rounding ties away from zero, hence when $c$~is even,
%   $b/c - 1/2 + 1/c \leq [b/c] \leq b/c + 1/2$
%   and when $c$~is odd,
%   $b/c - 1/2 + 1/(2c) \leq [b/c] \leq b/c + 1/2 - 1/(2c)$.
%   For all~$c$, $b/c - 1/2 + 1/(2c) \leq [b/c] \leq b/c + 1/2$.
%
%   Let us prove that the method converges when implemented with \eTeX{}
%   integer division, for any $10^{6} \leq a_1 < 10^{8}$ and starting
%   value $10^{6} \leq x < 10^{8}$.  Using the inequalities above and
%   the arithmetic--geometric inequality $(x+t)/2 \geq \sqrt{xt}$ for $t
%   = 10^{8} a_1 / x$, we find
%   \[
%   x'
%   = \left[\frac{x + [10^{8} a_1 / x]}{2}\right]
%   \geq \frac{x + 10^{8} a_1 / x - 1/2 + 1/(2x)}{2}
%   \geq \sqrt{10^{8} a_1} - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4x} \,.
%   \]
%   After any step of iteration, we thus have $\delta = x - \sqrt{10^{8}
%     a_1} \geq -0.25 + 0.25 \cdot 10^{-8}$.  The new difference
%   $\delta' = x' - \sqrt{10^{8} a_1}$ after one step is bounded above
%   as
%   \[
%   x' - \sqrt{10^{8} a_1}
%   \leq \frac{x + 10^{8} a_1 / x + 1/2}{2} + \frac{1}{2}
%   - \sqrt{10^{8} a_1}
%   \leq \frac{\delta}{2} \frac{\delta}{\sqrt{10^{8} a_1} + \delta}
%   + \frac{3}{4} \,.
%   \]
%   For $\delta > 3/2$, this last expression is
%   $\leq\delta/2+3/4<\delta$, hence $\delta$~decreases at each step:
%   since all~$x$ are integers, $\delta$~must reach a value
%   $-1/4<\delta\leq 3/2$.  In this range of values, we get $\delta'
%   \leq \frac{3}{4} \frac{3}{2\sqrt{10^{8} a_1}} + \frac{3}{4} \leq
%   0.75 + 1.125 \cdot 10^{-7}$.  We deduce that the difference $\delta
%   = x - \sqrt{10^{8} a_1}$ eventually reaches a value in the interval
%   $[-0.25 + 0.25\cdot 10^{-8}, 0.75 + 11.25 \cdot 10^{-8}]$, whose
%   width is $1 + 11 \cdot 10^{-8}$.  The corresponding interval for~$x$
%   may contain two integers, hence $x$~might oscillate between those
%   two values.

%   However, the fact that $x\mapsto x-1$ and $x-1 \mapsto x$ puts
%   stronger constraints, which are not compatible: the first implies
%   \[
%   x + [10^{8} a_1 / x] \leq 2x - 2
%   \]
%   hence $10^{8} a_1 / x \leq x - 3/2$, while the second implies
%   \[
%   x - 1 + [10^{8} a_1 / (x - 1)] \geq 2x - 1
%   \]
%   hence $10^{8} a_1 / (x - 1) \geq x - 1/2$.  Combining the two
%   inequalities yields $x^2 - 3x/2 \geq 10^{8} a_1 \geq x - 3x/2 +
%   1/2$, which cannot hold.  Therefore, the iteration always converges
%   to a single integer~$x$.  To stop the iteration when two consecutive
%   results are equal, the function \cs{@@_sqrt_Newton_o:wwn} receives
%   the newly computed result as~|#1|, the previous result as~|#2|, and
%   $a_1$ as~|#3|.  Note that \eTeX{} combines the computation of a
%   multiplication and a following division, thus avoiding overflow in
%   |#3 * 100000000 / #1|.  In any case, the result is within $[10^{7},

%   This function is followed by $10^{8}+x-1$, which has~$9$ digits
%   starting with~$1$, then |;| \Arg{a_1} \Arg{a_2} \meta{a'}.  Here, $x
%   \simeq \sqrt{10^{8} a_1}$ and we want to estimate the square root of
%   $a = 10^{-8} a_1 + 10^{-16} a_2 + 10^{-17} a'$.  We set up an
%   initial underestimate
%   \[
%   y = (x - 1) 10^{-8} + 0.2499998875 \cdot 10^{-8} \lesssim \sqrt{a}\,.
%   \]
%   From the inequalities shown earlier, we know that $y \leq
%   \sqrt{10^{-8} a_1} \leq \sqrt{a}$ and that $\sqrt{10^{-8} a_1} \leq
%   y + 10^{-8} + 11\cdot 10^{-16}$ hence (using $0.1\leq y\leq
%   \sqrt{a}\leq 1$)
%   \[
%   a - y^2 \leq 10^{-8} a_1 + 10^{-8} - y^2

%   \]
%   and $\sqrt{a} - y = (a - y^2)/(\sqrt{a} + y) \leq 16 \cdot 10^{-8}$.
%   Next, \cs{@@_sqrt_auxii_o:NnnnnnnnN} will be called several times to
%   get closer and closer underestimates of~$\sqrt{a}$.  By
%   construction, the underestimates~$y$ are always increasing, $a - y^2
%   < 3.2 \cdot 10^{-8}$ for all.  Also, $y<1$.

%   This receives a continuation function~|#1|, then five blocks of~$4$
%   digits for~$y$, then two $8$-digit blocks and a single digit
%   for~$a$.  A common estimate of $\sqrt{a} - y = (a - y^2) / (\sqrt{a}
%   + y)$ is $(a - y^2)/(2y)$, which leads to alternating overestimates
%   and underestimates.  We tweak this, to only work with underestimates
%   (no need then to worry about signs in the computation).  Each step
%   finds the largest integer $j\leq 6$ such that $10^{4j}(a-y^2) <
%   2\cdot 10^{8}$, then computes the integer (with \eTeX{}'s rounding
%   division)
%   \[
%   10^{4j} z =
%   \Bigl[\bigl(\lfloor 10^{4j}(a-y^2)\rfloor - 257\bigr)
%   \cdot (0.5\cdot 10^{8})
%   \Bigm/ \lfloor 10^{8} y + 1\rfloor\Bigr] \,.
%   \]
%   The choice of~$j$ ensures that $10^{4j} z < 2\cdot 10^{8} \cdot
%   0.5\cdot 10^{8} / 10^{7} = 10^{9}$, thus $10^{9} + 10^{4j} z$ has
%   exactly $10$~digits, does not overflow \TeX{}'s integer range, and
%   starts with~$1$.  Incidentally, since all $a - y^2 \leq 3.2\cdot
%   10^{-8}$, we know that $j\geq 3$.
%
%   Let us show that $z$ is an underestimate of $\sqrt{a} - y$.  On the
%   one hand, $\sqrt{a} - y \leq 16\cdot 10^{-8}$ because this holds for
%   the initial~$y$ and values of~$y$ can only increase.  On the other
%   hand, the choice of~$j$ implies that $\sqrt{a} - y \leq
%   5(\sqrt{a}+y)(\sqrt{a}-y) = 5(a - y^2) < 10^{9-4j}$.  For $j=3$, the
%   first bound is better, while for larger~$j$, the second bound is
%   better.  For all $j\in[3,6]$, we find $\sqrt{a}-y < 16\cdot
%   10^{-2j}$.  From this, we deduce that
%   \[
%   10^{4j} (\sqrt{a}-y)
%   = \frac{10^{4j}\bigl(a-y^2-(\sqrt{a}-y)^2\bigr)}{2y}
%   \geq \frac{\bigl\lfloor 10^{4j}(a-y^2)\bigr\rfloor-257}
%   {2\cdot 10^{-8} \lfloor 10^{8}y+1\rfloor}
%   + \frac{1}{2}
%   \]
%   where we have replaced the bound $10^{4j}(16\cdot 10^{-2j}) = 256$
%   by~$257$ and extracted the corresponding term $1/\bigl(2\cdot
%   10^{-8} \lfloor 10^{8}y+1\rfloor\bigr) \geq 1/2$.  Given that
%   \eTeX{}'s integer division obeys $[b/c] \leq b/c + 1/2$, we deduce
%   that $10^{4j} z \leq 10^{4j} (\sqrt{a}-y)$, hence $y+z\leq\sqrt{a}$
%   is an underestimate of~$\sqrt{a}$, as claimed.  One implementation
%   detail: because the computation involves |-#4*#4| |-| |2*#3*#5| |-|
%   |2*#2*#6| which may be as low as $-5\cdot 10^{8}$, we need to use
%   the \texttt{pack_big} functions, and the \texttt{big} shifts.

%   numbers with $16$~significant digits have: this situation never
%   arises for the square root, as any exact square root of a $16$~digit
%   number has at most $8$~significant digits.  Finally, the last
%   argument is the next digit, possibly shifted by~$1$ when there are
%   further nonzero digits.  This is achieved by \cs{@@_round_digit:Nw},
%   which receives (after removal of the $10000$'s digit) one of $0000$,
%   $0001$, $4999$, $5000$, $5001$, or~$9999$, which it converts to $0$,
%   $1$, $4$, $5$, $6$, and~$9$, respectively.

% \subsection{Setting the sign}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_set_sign_o:w}
%   This function is used for the unary minus and for \texttt{abs}.  It
%   leaves the sign of \texttt{nan} invariant, turns negative numbers
%   (sign~$2$) to positive numbers (sign~$0$) and positive numbers
%   (sign~$0$) to positive or negative numbers depending on~|#1|.  It
%   also expands after itself in the input stream, just like
%   \cs{@@_+_o:ww}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_set_sign_o:w #1 \s_@@ \@@_chk:w #2#3#4; @
