But the algorithms are identical to a fault. Inside the functions, all lines except 1 in each correspond exactly, and the exception is a style bug. Only about 30 lines in each are not lexically identical. The non-lexical differences are for things like different magic numbers. The old fdlibm comments aren't too careful about keeping magic numbers out of the algorithm description so that the algorithm description is as general as possible. The precise magic numbers are often critical to the details of the implementation of the algorithm but not really to the algorithm itself.
