To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E. Is less than the underflow threshold (is denormalized) and differs from the true result by more than the usual . 5 units in the last place. Thus the underflow flag will be on only if underflow could actually have made the final result inaccurate [4, 6]. (The standard also permits raising the underflow flag if the underflowed result is merely inexact; this raises the flag somewhat more often). In any event, it is easy to tell when the possibility of a large relative error in the final result ...exists. Therefore, the simple code above is unreliable because of roundoff with the Clenshaw/Olver arithmetic, over/underflow with conventional and IEEE floating point, and both roundoff and over/underflow with Matsui/Iri. In order to make it reliable, the following changes are necessary. By reliability, we mean prevention of any interrupts due to over/underflow, and either a reliable warning that the result is inaccurate or a guarantee of accuracy (assuming a reasonable bound on n). For Matsui/Iri and Clenshaw/Olver the final error will clearly be bounded by n times the error in computing the largest intermediate p.
