+// Return correctly rounded sqrt.
+// -----------------------------------------
+// | Use the hardware sqrt if you have one |
+// -----------------------------------------
+// Method:
+// Bit by bit method using integer arithmetic. (Slow, but portable)
+// 1. Normalization
+// Scale x to y in [1,4) with even powers of 2:
+// find an integer k such that 1 <= (y=x*2**(2k)) < 4, then
+// sqrt(x) = 2**k * sqrt(y)
+// 2. Bit by bit computation
+// Let q = sqrt(y) truncated to i bit after binary point (q = 1),
+// i 0
+// i+1 2
+// s = 2*q , and y = 2 * ( y - q ). (1)
+// i i i i
+//
+// To compute q from q , one checks whether
+// i+1 i
+//
+// -(i+1) 2
+// (q + 2 ) <= y. (2)
+// i
+// -(i+1)
+// If (2) is false, then q = q ; otherwise q = q + 2 .
+// i+1 i i+1 i
+//
+// With some algebraic manipulation, it is not difficult to see
+// that (2) is equivalent to
+// -(i+1)
+// s + 2 <= y (3)
+// i i
+//
+// The advantage of (3) is that s and y can be computed by
+// i i
+// the following recurrence formula:
+// if (3) is false
+//
+// s = s , y = y ; (4)
+// i+1 i i+1 i
+//
+// otherwise,
+// -i -(i+1)
+// s = s + 2 , y = y - s - 2 (5)
+// i+1 i i+1 i i
+//
+// One may easily use induction to prove (4) and (5).
+// Note. Since the left hand side of (3) contain only i+2 bits,
+// it does not necessary to do a full (53-bit) comparison
+// in (3).
+// 3. Final rounding
+// After generating the 53 bits result, we compute one more bit.
+// Together with the remainder, we can decide whether the
+// result is exact, bigger than 1/2ulp, or less than 1/2ulp
+// (it will never equal to 1/2ulp).
+// The rounding mode can be detected by checking whether
+// huge + tiny is equal to huge, and whether huge - tiny is
+// equal to huge for some floating point number "huge" and "tiny".
+//
+//
+// Notes: Rounding mode detection omitted.
