% \subsection{Internal representation}
%
% Internally, a floating point number \meta{X} is a
% token list containing
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@} \cs{@@_chk:w} \meta{case} \meta{sign} \meta{body} |;|
% \end{quote}
% Let us explain each piece separately.
%
% Internal floating point numbers will be used in expressions,
% and in this context will be subject to f-expansion. They must
% leave a recognizable mark after \texttt{f}-expansion, to prevent the
% floating point number from being re-parsed. Thus, \cs{s_@@}
% is simply another name for \tn{relax}.
%
% Since floating point numbers are always accessed by the various
% operations using f-expansion, we can safely let them be protected:
% \texttt{x}-expansion will then leave them untouched.  However, when
% used directly without an accessor function, floating points should
% produce an error.  \cs{s_@@} will do nothing, and \cs{@@_chk:w}
% produces an error.
%
% The (decimal part of the) IEEE-754-2008 standard requires the
% format to be able to represent special floating point numbers
% besides the usual positive and negative cases. The various
% possibilities will be distinguished by their \meta{case}, which
% is a single digit:\footnote{Bruno: I need to implement subnormal
%   numbers. Also, quiet and signalling \texttt{nan} must be better
%   distinguished.}
% \begin{itemize}
% \item[0] zeros: |+0| and |-0|,
% \item[1] \enquote{normal} numbers (positive and negative),
% \item[2] infinities: |+inf| and |-inf|,
% \item[3] quiet and signalling \texttt{nan}.
% \end{itemize}
% The \meta{sign} is |0| (positive) or |2| (negative),
% except in the case of \texttt{nan}, which have $\meta{sign} = 1$.
% This ensures that changing the \meta{sign} digit to $2-\meta{sign}$
% is exactly equivalent to changing the sign of the number.
%
% Special floating point numbers have the form
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@} \cs{@@_chk:w} \meta{case} \meta{sign} \cs{s_@@_...} |;|
% \end{quote}
% where \cs{s_@@_...} is a scan mark carrying information about how the
% number was formed (useful for debugging).
%
% Normal floating point numbers ($\meta{case} = 1$) have the form
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@} \cs{@@_chk:w} 1 \meta{sign} \Arg{exponent}
%   \Arg{X_1} \Arg{X_2} \Arg{X_3} \Arg{X_4} |;|
% \end{quote}
% Here, the \meta{exponent} is an integer, at most
% $\cs{c_@@_max_exponent_int} =
%   \the\csname\detokenize{c__fp_max_exponent_int}\endcsname$
% in absolute value.  The body consists in four
% blocks of exactly $4$ digits, $ 0000 \leq \meta{X_i} \leq 9999$,
% such that
% \[
% \meta{X}
% = (-1)^{\meta{sign}} 10^{-\meta{exponent}}
% \sum_{i=1}^{4} \meta{X_i} 10^{-4i}
% \]
% and such that the \meta{exponent} is minimal. This implies
% $ 1000 \leq \meta{X_1} \leq 9999 $.

%
% \subsection{Internal storage of floating points numbers}
%
% A floating point number \meta{X} is stored as
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@} \cs{@@_chk:w} \meta{case} \meta{sign} \meta{body} |;|
% \end{quote}
% Here, \meta{case} is 0 for $\pm 0$, 1 for normal numbers, 2 for $\pm
% \infty$, and 3 for \texttt{nan}, and \meta{sign} is $0$ for positive
% numbers, $1$ for \texttt{nan}s, and $2$ for negative numbers. The
% \meta{body} of normal numbers is \Arg{exponent} \Arg{X_1} \Arg{X_2}
% \Arg{X_3} \Arg{X_4}, with
% \[
% \meta{X} = (-1)^{\meta{sign}} 10^{-\meta{exponent}} \sum_i
% \meta{X_i} 10^{-4i}.
% \]
% Calculations are done in base $10000$, \emph{i.e.} one myriad.  The
% \meta{exponent} lies between $\pm\cs{c_@@_max_exponent_int} = \pm
% \the\csname\detokenize{c__fp_max_exponent_int}\endcsname$ inclusive.
%
% Additionally, positive and negative floating point numbers may only be
% stored with $1000\leq\meta{X_1}<10000$. This requirement is necessary
% in order to preserve accuracy and speed.
%
% ^^A end[todo]
%
% \subsection{Using arguments and semicolons}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_use_none_stop_f:n}
%   This function removes an argument (typically a digit) and replaces
%   it by \cs{exp_stop_f:}, a marker which stops \texttt{f}-type
%   expansion.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_none_stop_f:n #1 { \exp_stop_f: }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_use_s:n, \@@_use_s:nn}
%   Those functions place a semicolon after one or two arguments
%   (typically digits).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_s:n #1 { #1; }
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_s:nn #1#2 { #1#2; }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]
%   {\@@_use_none_until_s:w, \@@_use_i_until_s:nw, \@@_use_ii_until_s:nnw}
%   Those functions select specific arguments among a set of arguments
%   delimited by a semicolon.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_none_until_s:w #1; { }
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_i_until_s:nw #1#2; {#1}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_ii_until_s:nnw #1#2#3; {#2}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% ^^A todo: rename to \@@_args_swap:Nww
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_reverse_args:Nww}
%   Many internal functions take arguments delimited by semicolons, and
%   it is occasionally useful to swap two such arguments.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_reverse_args:Nww #1 #2; #3; { #1 #3; #2; }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_rrot:www}
%   Rotate three arguments delimited by semicolons.  This is the inverse
%   (or the square) of the Forth primitive |ROT|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_rrot:www #1; #2; #3; { #2; #3; #1; }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_use_i:ww, \@@_use_i:www}
%   Many internal functions take arguments delimited by semicolons, and
%   it is occasionally useful to remove one or two such arguments.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_i:ww #1; #2; { #1; }
\cs_new:Npn \@@_use_i:www #1; #2; #3; { #1; }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \subsection{Constants, and structure of floating points}
%
% \begin{macro}[int]{\s_@@, \@@_chk:w}
%   Floating points numbers all start with \cs{s_@@} \cs{@@_chk:w},
%   where \cs{s_@@} is equal to the \TeX{} primitive \tn{relax}, and
%   \cs{@@_chk:w} is protected.  The rest of the floating point number
%   is made of characters (or \tn{relax}).  This ensures that nothing
%   expands under \texttt{f}-expansion, nor under \texttt{x}-expansion.
%   However, when typeset, \cs{s_@@} does nothing, and \cs{@@_chk:w} is
%   expanded.  We define \cs{@@_chk:w} to produce an error.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\__scan_new:N \s_@@
\cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_chk:w #1 ;
  {
    \__msg_kernel_error:nnx { kernel } { misused-fp }
      { \fp_to_tl:n { \s_@@ \@@_chk:w #1 ; } }
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[int]{\s_@@_mark, \s_@@_stop}
%   Aliases of \cs{tex_relax:D}, used to terminate expressions.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\__scan_new:N \s_@@_mark
\__scan_new:N \s_@@_stop
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[int]
%   {
%     \s_@@_invalid, \s_@@_underflow, \s_@@_overflow,
%     \s_@@_division, \s_@@_exact
%   }
%   A couple of scan marks used to indicate where special floating point
%   numbers come from.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\__scan_new:N \s_@@_invalid

%
% \begin{variable}
%   {\c_zero_fp, \c_minus_zero_fp, \c_inf_fp, \c_minus_inf_fp, \c_nan_fp}
%   The special floating points. All of them have the form
%   \begin{quote}
%     \cs{s_@@} \cs{@@_chk:w} \meta{case} \meta{sign} \cs{s_@@_...} |;|
%   \end{quote}
%   where the dots in \cs{s_@@_...} are one of \texttt{invalid},
%   \texttt{underflow}, \texttt{overflow}, \texttt{division},
%   \texttt{exact}, describing how the floating point was created.  We
%   define the floating points here as \enquote{exact}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tl_const:Nn \c_zero_fp       { \s_@@ \@@_chk:w 0 0 \s_@@_exact ; }

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}[int]{\c_@@_max_exponent_int}
%   Normal floating point numbers have an exponent at most
%   \texttt{max_exponent} in absolute value.  Larger numbers are rounded
%   to $\pm\infty$.  Smaller numbers are subnormal (not implemented yet),
%   and digits beyond
%   $10^{-\text{\texttt{max_exponent}}}$ are rounded away, hence the
%   true minimum exponent is $-\text{\texttt{max_exponent}}-16$;
%   beyond this, numbers are rounded to zero.  Why this choice of
%   limits?  When computing $(a\cdot 10^n)^(b\cdot 10^p)$, we need to
%   evaluate $\log(a\cdot 10^n) = \log(a) + n \log(10)$ as a fixed point
%   number, which we manipulate as blocks of $4$ digits.  Multiplying
%   such a fixed point number by $n<10000$ is much cheaper than larger
%   $n$, because we can multiply $n$ with each block safely.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\int_const:Nn \c_@@_max_exponent_int { 10000 }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_zero_fp:N, \@@_inf_fp:N}
%   In case of overflow or underflow, we have to output

%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_neg_sign:N}
%   When appearing in an integer expression or after \cs{__int_value:w},

% \subsection{Packing digits}
%
% When a positive integer |#1| is known to be less than $10^8$, the
% following trick will split it into two blocks of $4$ digits, padding
% with zeros on the left.
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \cs_new:Npn \pack:NNNNNw #1 #2#3#4#5 #6; { {#2#3#4#5} {#6} }
%   \exp_after:wN \pack:NNNNNw
%     \int_use:N \__int_eval:w 1 0000 0000 + #1 ;
% \end{verbatim}
% The idea is that adding $10^8$ to the number ensures that it has
% exactly $9$ digits, and can then easily find which digits correspond
% to what position in the number. Of course, this can be modified
% for any number of digits less or equal to~$9$ (we are limited by
% \TeX{}'s integers). This method is very heavily relied upon in
% \texttt{l3fp-basics}.
%
% More specifically, the auxiliary inserts |+ #1#2#3#4#5 ; {#6}|, which
% allows us to compute several blocks of $4$ digits in a nested manner,
% performing carries on the fly.  Say we want to compute $1\,2345 \times
% 6677\,8899$.  With simplified names, we would do
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \exp_after:wN \post_processing:w
%   \int_use:N \__int_eval:w - 5 0000
%     \exp_after:wN \pack:NNNNNw
%     \int_use:N \__int_eval:w 4 9995 0000
%       + 12345 * 6677
%       \exp_after:wN \pack:NNNNNw
%       \int_use:N \__int_eval:w 5 0000 0000
%         + 12345 * 8899 ;
% \end{verbatim}
% The \cs{exp_after:wN} triggers |\int_use:N \__int_eval:w|, which
% starts a first computation, whose initial value is $- 5\,0000$ (the
% \enquote{leading shift}).  In that computation appears an
% \cs{exp_after:wN}, which triggers the nested computation
% |\int_use:N \__int_eval:w| with starting value $4\,9995\,0000$ (the
% \enquote{middle shift}).  That, in turn, expands \cs{exp_after:wN}
% which triggers the third computation.  The third computation's value
% is $5\,0000\,0000 + 12345 \times 8899$, which has $9$ digits. Adding
% $5\cdot 10^{8}$ to the product allowed us to know how many digits to
% expect as long as the numbers to multiply are not too big; it will
% also work to some extent with negative results.  The \texttt{pack}
% function puts the last $4$ of those $9$ digits into a brace group,
% moves the semi-colon delimiter, and inserts a |+|, which combines the
% carry with the previous computation.  The shifts nicely combine into
% $5\,0000\,0000 / 10^{4} + 4\,9995\,0000 = 5\,0000\,0000$.  As long as
% the operands are in some range, the result of this second computation
% will have $9$ digits.  The corresponding \texttt{pack} function,
% expanded after the result is computed, braces the last $4$ digits, and
% leaves |+| \meta{5 digits} for the initial computation.  The
% \enquote{leading shift} cancels the combination of the other shifts,
% and the |\post_processing:w| takes care of packing the last few
% digits.
%
% Admittedly, this is quite intricate.  It is probably the key in making
% \pkg{l3fp} as fast as other pure \TeX{} floating point units despite
% its increased precision.  In fact, this is used so much that we
% provide different sets of packing functions and shifts, depending on
% ranges of input.

%     \cs{@@_decimate:nNnnnn} \Arg{shift} \Arg{f_1}
%     ~~\Arg{X_1} \Arg{X_2} \Arg{X_3} \Arg{X_4}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Each \meta{X_i} consists in $4$ digits exactly,
%   and $1000\leq\meta{X_1}<9999$. The first argument determines
%   by how much we shift the digits. \meta{f_1} is called as follows:
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \meta{f_1} \meta{rounding} \Arg{X'_1} \Arg{X'_2} \meta{extra-digits} |;|
%   \end{syntax}
%   where $0\leq\meta{X'_i}<10^{8}-1$ are $8$ digit numbers,
%   forming the truncation of our number. In other words,
%   \[
%   \left(
%     \sum_{i=1}^{4} \meta{X_i} \cdot 10^{-4i} \cdot 10^{-\meta{shift}}
%     - \meta{X'_1} \cdot 10^{-8} + \meta{X'_2} \cdot 10^{-16}
%   \right)
%   \in [0,10^{-16}).
%   \]
%   To round properly later, we need to remember some information
%   about the difference. The \meta{rounding} digit is $0$ if and
%   only if the difference is exactly $0$, and $5$ if and only if
%   the difference is exactly $0.5\cdot 10^{-16}$. Otherwise, it
%   is the (non-$0$, non-$5$) digit closest to $10^{17}$ times the
%   difference.  In particular, if the shift is $17$ or more, all
%   the digits are dropped, \meta{rounding} is $1$ (not $0$), and
%   \meta{X'_1} \meta{X'_2} are both zero.
%
%   If the shift is $1$, the \meta{rounding} digit is simply the
%   only digit that was pushed out of the brace groups (this is
%   important for subtraction). It would be more natural for the
%   \meta{rounding} digit to be placed after the \meta{X_i},
%   but the choice we make involves less reshuffling.

% \subsection{Functions for use within primitive conditional branches}
%
% The functions described in this section are not pretty and can easily
% be misused.  When correctly used, each of them removes one \cs{fi:} as
% part of its parameter text, and puts one back as part of its
% replacement text.
%
% Many computation functions in \pkg{l3fp} must perform tests on the
% type of floating points that they receive.  This is often done in an
% \cs{if_case:w} statement or another conditional statement, and only a
% few cases lead to actual computations: most of the special cases are
% treated using a few standard functions which we define now.  A typical
% use context for those functions would be
% \begin{syntax}
%   |\if_case:w| \meta{integer} |\exp_stop_f:|
%   |     \@@_case_return_o:Nw| \meta{fp var}
%   |\or: \@@_case_use:nw| \Arg{some computation}
%   |\or: \@@_case_return_same_o:w|
%   |\or: \@@_case_return:nw| \Arg{something}
%   |\fi:|
%   \meta{junk}
%   \meta{floating point}
% \end{syntax}
% In this example, the case $0$ will return the floating point
% \meta{fp~var}, expanding once after that floating point.  Case $1$
% will do \meta{some computation} using the \meta{floating point}
% (presumably compute the operation requested by the user in that
% non-trivial case).  Case $2$ will return the \meta{floating point}
% without modifying it, removing the \meta{junk} and expanding once
% after.  Case $3$ will close the conditional, remove the \meta{junk}
% and the \meta{floating point}, and expand \meta{something} next.  In
% other cases, the \enquote{\meta{junk}} is expanded, performing some
% other operation on the \meta{floating point}.  We provide similar
% functions with two trailing \meta{floating points}.

% \subsection{Small integer floating points}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_small_int:wTF}
% \begin{macro}[aux, EXP]
%   {
%     \@@_small_int_true:wTF,
%     \@@_small_int_normal:NnwTF,
%     \@@_small_int_test:NnnwNTF
%   }
%   Tests if the floating point argument is an integer or $\pm\infty$.
%   If so, it is converted to an integer in the range $[-10^{8},10^{8}]$
%   and fed as a braced argument to the \meta{true code}.
%   Otherwise, the \meta{false code} is performed.  First filter special
%   cases: neither \texttt{nan} nor infinities are integers.  Normal
%   numbers with a non-positive exponent are never integers.  When the
%   exponent is greater than $8$, the number is too large for the range.
%   Otherwise, decimate, and test the digits after the decimal
%   separator.  The \cs{use_iii:nnn} remove a trailing |;| and the true
%   branch, leaving only the false branch.  The \cs{__int_value:w}
%   appearing in the case where the normal floating point is an integer
%   takes care of expanding all the conditionals until the trailing |;|.
%   That integer is fed to \cs{@@_small_int_true:wTF} which places it as
%   a braced argument of the true branch.  The \cs{use_i:nn} in
%   \cs{@@_small_int_test:NnnwNTF} removes the top-level \cs{else:}
%   coming from \cs{@@_small_int_normal:NnwTF}, hence will call the
%   \cs{use_iii:nnn} which follows, taking the false branch.

% \subsection{Length of a floating point array}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_array_count:n}
% \begin{macro}[aux, EXP]{\@@_array_count_loop:Nw}
%   Count the number of items in an array of floating points.  The
%   technique is very similar to \cs{tl_count:n}, but with the loop
%   built-in.  Checking for the end of the loop is done with the
%   |\use_none:n #1| construction.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_array_count:n #1

    \int_use:N \__int_eval:w \c_zero

% \subsection{\texttt{x}-like expansion expandably}
%
% \begin{macro}[int, EXP]{\@@_expand:n}
% \begin{macro}[aux, EXP]{\@@_expand_loop:nwnN}
%   This expandable function behaves in a way somewhat similar to
%   \cs{use:x}, but much less robust.  The argument is
%   \texttt{f}-expanded, then the leading item (often a single character
%   token) is moved to a storage area after \cs{s_@@_mark}, and
%   \texttt{f}-expansion is applied again, repeating until the argument
%   is empty.  The result built one piece at a time is then inserted in
%   the input stream.  Note that spaces are ignored by this procedure,
%   unless surrounded with braces.  Multiple tokens which do not need
%   expansion can be inserted within braces.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \@@_expand:n #1
  {
    \@@_expand_loop:nwnN { }
      #1 \prg_do_nothing:
      \s_@@_mark { } \@@_expand_loop:nwnN
      \s_@@_mark { } \@@_use_i_until_s:nw ;
  }
\cs_new:Npn \@@_expand_loop:nwnN #1#2 \s_@@_mark #3 #4
  {
    \exp_after:wN #4 \tex_romannumeral:D -`0
