//
//      Gamma function
//
// SYNOPSIS:
//
// double x, y, tgamma();
// extern int signgam;
//
// y = tgamma( x );
//
// DESCRIPTION:
//
// Returns gamma function of the argument. The result is
// correctly signed, and the sign (+1 or -1) is also
// returned in a global (extern) variable named signgam.
// This variable is also filled in by the logarithmic gamma
// function lgamma().
//
// Arguments |x| <= 34 are reduced by recurrence and the function
// approximated by a rational function of degree 6/7 in the
// interval (2,3).  Large arguments are handled by Stirling's
// formula. Large negative arguments are made positive using
// a reflection formula.
//
// ACCURACY:
//
//                      Relative error:
// arithmetic   domain     # trials      peak         rms
//    DEC      -34, 34      10000       1.3e-16     2.5e-17
//    IEEE    -170,-33      20000       2.3e-15     3.3e-16
//    IEEE     -33,  33     20000       9.4e-16     2.2e-16
//    IEEE      33, 171.6   20000       2.3e-15     3.2e-16
//
// Error for arguments outside the test range will be larger
// owing to error amplification by the exponential function.
