// __ieee754_lgamma_r(x, signgamp)
// Reentrant version of the logarithm of the Gamma function
// with user provided pointer for the sign of Gamma(x).
//
// Method:
//   1. Argument Reduction for 0 < x <= 8
//      Since gamma(1+s)=s*gamma(s), for x in [0,8], we may
//      reduce x to a number in [1.5,2.5] by
//              lgamma(1+s) = log(s) + lgamma(s)
//      for example,
//              lgamma(7.3) = log(6.3) + lgamma(6.3)
//                          = log(6.3*5.3) + lgamma(5.3)
//                          = log(6.3*5.3*4.3*3.3*2.3) + lgamma(2.3)
//   2. Polynomial approximation of lgamma around its
//      minimum (ymin=1.461632144968362245) to maintain monotonicity.
//      On [ymin-0.23, ymin+0.27] (i.e., [1.23164,1.73163]), use
//              Let z = x-ymin;
//              lgamma(x) = -1.214862905358496078218 + z**2*poly(z)
//              poly(z) is a 14 degree polynomial.
//   2. Rational approximation in the primary interval [2,3]
//      We use the following approximation:
//              s = x-2.0;
//              lgamma(x) = 0.5*s + s*P(s)/Q(s)
//      with accuracy
//              |P/Q - (lgamma(x)-0.5s)| < 2**-61.71
//      Our algorithms are based on the following observation
//
//                             zeta(2)-1    2    zeta(3)-1    3
// lgamma(2+s) = s*(1-Euler) + --------- * s  -  --------- * s  + ...
//                                 2                 3
//
//      where Euler = 0.5772156649... is the Euler constant, which
//      is very close to 0.5.
//
//   3. For x>=8, we have
//      lgamma(x)~(x-0.5)log(x)-x+0.5*log(2pi)+1/(12x)-1/(360x**3)+....
//      (better formula:
//         lgamma(x)~(x-0.5)*(log(x)-1)-.5*(log(2pi)-1) + ...)
//      Let z = 1/x, then we approximation
//              f(z) = lgamma(x) - (x-0.5)(log(x)-1)
//      by
//                                  3       5             11
//              w = w0 + w1*z + w2*z  + w3*z  + ... + w6*z
//      where
//              |w - f(z)| < 2**-58.74
//
//   4. For negative x, since (G is gamma function)
//              -x*G(-x)*G(x) = pi/sin(pi*x),
//      we have
//              G(x) = pi/(sin(pi*x)*(-x)*G(-x))
//      since G(-x) is positive, sign(G(x)) = sign(sin(pi*x)) for x<0
//      Hence, for x<0, signgam = sign(sin(pi*x)) and
//              lgamma(x) = log(|Gamma(x)|)
//                        = log(pi/(|x*sin(pi*x)|)) - lgamma(-x);
//      Note: one should avoid computing pi*(-x) directly in the
//            computation of sin(pi*(-x)).
//
//   5. Special Cases
//              lgamma(2+s) ~ s*(1-Euler) for tiny s
//              lgamma(1)=lgamma(2)=0
//              lgamma(x) ~ -log(x) for tiny x
//              lgamma(0) = lgamma(inf) = inf
//              lgamma(-integer) = +-inf
//
