 * This is an implementation the Dragon4 algorithm to convert a binary number in
 * floating point format to a decimal number in string format. The function
 * returns the number of digits written to the output buffer and the output is
 * not NUL terminated.
 *
 * The floating point input value is (mantissa * 2^exponent).
 *
 * See the following papers for more information on the algorithm:
 *  "How to Print Floating-Point Numbers Accurately"
 *    Steele and White
 *    http://kurtstephens.com/files/p372-steele.pdf
 *  "Printing Floating-Point Numbers Quickly and Accurately"
 *    Burger and Dybvig
 *    http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.72.4656
 *
 * This implementation is essentially a port of the "Figure 3" Scheme code from
 * Burger and Dybvig, but with the following additional differences:
 *   1. Instead of finding the highest k such that high < B**k, we search
 *      for the one where v < B**k. This has a downside that if a power
 *      of 10 exists between v and high, we will output a 9 instead of a 1 as
 *      first digit, violating the "no-carry" guarantee of the paper. This is
 *      accounted for in a new post-processing loop which implements a carry
 *      operation. The upside is one less BigInt multiplication.
 *   2. The approximate value of k found is offset by a different amount
 *      (0.69), in order to hit the "fast" branch more often. This is
 *      extensively described on Ryan Juckett's website.
 *   3. The fixed precision mode is much simpler than proposed in the paper.
 *      It simply outputs digits by repeatedly dividing by 10. The new "carry"
 *      loop at the end rounds this output nicely.
 *  There is also some new code to account for details of the BigInt
 *  implementation, which are not present in the paper since it does not specify
 *  details of the integer calculations.
 *
 * There is some more documentation of these changes on Ryan Juckett's website
 * at http://www.ryanjuckett.com/programming/printing-floating-point-numbers/
 *
 * This code also has a few implementation differences from Ryan Juckett's
 * version:
 *  1. fixed overflow problems when mantissa was 64 bits (in float128 types),
 *     by replacing multiplication by 2 or 4 by BigInt_ShiftLeft calls.
 *  2. Increased c_BigInt_MaxBlocks, for 128-bit floats
 *  3. Added more entries to the g_PowerOf10_Big table, for 128-bit floats.
 *  4. Added unbiased rounding calculation with isEven. Ryan Juckett's
 *     implementation did not implement "IEEE unbiased rounding", except in the
 *     last digit. This has been added back, following the Burger & Dybvig
 *     code, using the isEven variable.
 *
 * Arguments:
 *   * bigints - memory to store all bigints needed (7) for dragon4 computation.
 *               The first BigInt should be filled in with the mantissa.
 *   * exponent - value exponent in base 2
 *   * mantissaBit - index of the highest set mantissa bit
 *   * hasUnequalMargins - is the high margin twice as large as the low margin
 *   * cutoffMode - how to interpret cutoffNumber: fractional or total digits?
 *   * cutoffNumber - cut off printing after this many digits. -1 for no cutoff
 *   * pOutBuffer - buffer to output into
 *   * bufferSize - maximum characters that can be printed to pOutBuffer
 *   * pOutExponent - the base 10 exponent of the first digit
 *
 * Returns the number of digits written to the output buffer.

/* Options struct for easy passing of Dragon4 options.
 *
 *   scientific - boolean controlling whether scientific notation is used
 *   digit_mode - whether to use unique or fixed fractional output
 *   cutoff_mode - whether 'precision' refers to all digits, or digits past
 *                 the decimal point.
 *   precision - When negative, prints as many digits as needed for a unique
 *               number. When positive specifies the maximum number of
 *               significant digits to print.
 *   sign - whether to always show sign
 *   trim_mode - how to treat trailing 0s and '.'. See TrimMode comments.
 *   digits_left - pad characters to left of decimal point. -1 for no padding
 *   digits_right - pad characters to right of decimal point. -1 for no padding.
 *                  Padding adds whitespace until there are the specified
 *                  number characters to sides of decimal point. Applies after
 *                  trim_mode characters were removed. If digits_right is
 *                  positive and the decimal point was trimmed, decimal point
 *                  will be replaced by a whitespace character.
 *   exp_digits - Only affects scientific output. If positive, pads the
 *                exponent with 0s until there are this many digits. If
 *                negative, only use sufficient digits.

 * IBM extended precision 128-bit floating-point format, aka IBM double-double
 *
 * IBM's double-double type is a pair of IEEE binary64 values, which you add
 * together to get a total value. The exponents are arranged so that the lower
 * double is about 2^52 times smaller than the high one, and the nearest
 * float64 value is simply the upper double, in which case the pair is
 * considered "normalized" (not to confuse with "normal" and "subnormal"
 * binary64 values). We assume normalized values. You can see the glibc's
 * printf on ppc does so too by constructing un-normalized values to get
 * strange behavior from the OS printf:
 *
 *     >>> from numpy.core._multiarray_tests import format_float_OSprintf_g
 *     >>> x = np.array([0.3,0.3], dtype='f8').view('f16')[0]
 *     >>> format_float_OSprintf_g(x, 2)
 *     0.30
 *     >>> format_float_OSprintf_g(2*x, 2)
 *     1.20
 *
 * If we don't assume normalization, x should really print as 0.6.
 *
 * For normalized values gcc assumes that the total mantissa is no
 * more than 106 bits (53+53), so we can drop bits from the second double which
 * would be pushed past 106 when left-shifting by its exponent, as happens
 * sometimes. (There has been debate about this, see
 * https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=70117,
 * https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22752 )
 *
 * Note: This function is for the IBM-double-double which is a pair of IEEE
 * binary64 floats, like on ppc64 systems. This is *not* the hexadecimal
 * IBM-double-double type, which is a pair of IBM hexadecimal64 floats.
