//! An implementation of Clinger's Bellerophon algorithm.
//!
//! This is a moderate path algorithm that uses an extended-precision
//! float, represented in 80 bits, by calculating the bits of slop
//! and determining if those bits could prevent unambiguous rounding.
//!
//! This algorithm requires less static storage than the Lemire algorithm,
//! and has decent performance, and is therefore used when non-decimal,
//! non-power-of-two strings need to be parsed. Clinger's algorithm
//! is described in depth in "How to Read Floating Point Numbers Accurately.",
//! available online [here](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.45.4152&rep=rep1&type=pdf).
//!
//! This implementation is loosely based off the Golang implementation,
//! found [here](https://github.com/golang/go/blob/b10849fbb97a2244c086991b4623ae9f32c212d0/src/strconv/extfloat.go).

// ALGORITHM
// ---------

/// Core implementation of the Bellerophon algorithm.
///
/// Create an extended-precision float, scale it to the proper radix power,
/// calculate the bits of slop, and return the representation. The value
/// will always be guaranteed to be within 1 bit, rounded-down, of the real
/// value. If a negative exponent is returned, this represents we were
/// unable to unambiguously round the significant digits.
///
/// This has been modified to return a biased, rather than unbiased exponent.
