Summary:
In order to avoid calling pow function we generate repeated fmul when n is a
positive or negative whole number.
For each exponent we pre-compute Addition Chains in order to minimize the no.
of fmuls.
Refer: http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/addition_chain.html
We pre-compute addition chains for exponents upto 32 (which results in a max of
7 fmuls).
For eg:
4 = 2+2
5 = 2+3
6 = 3+3 and so on
Hence,
pow(x, 4.0) ==> y = fmul x, x
x = fmul y, y
ret x
For negative exponents, we simply compute the reciprocal of the final result.
Note: This transformation is only enabled under fast-math.
