<p>
Each of the functions come in three variants: a pair of overloaded functions
where the order of the polynomial or rational function is evaluated at compile
time, and an overload that accepts a runtime variable for the size of the
coefficient array. Generally speaking, compile time evaluation of the array
size results in better type safety, is less prone to programmer errors, and
may result in better optimised code. The polynomial evaluation functions
in particular, are specialised for various array sizes, allowing for loop
unrolling, and one hopes, optimal inline expansion.

Evaluates the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial" target="_top">polynomial</a>
described by the coefficients stored in <span class="emphasis"><em>poly</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
If the size of the array is specified at runtime, then the polynomial most
have order <span class="emphasis"><em>count-1</em></span> with <span class="emphasis"><em>count</em></span> coefficients.
Otherwise it has order <span class="emphasis"><em>N-1</em></span> with <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>
coefficients.
</p>
<p>
Coefficients should be stored such that the coefficients for the x<sup>i</sup> terms
are in poly[i].
</p>
<p>
The types of the coefficients and of variable <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> may
differ as long as <span class="emphasis"><em>*poly</em></span> is convertible to type <span class="emphasis"><em>U</em></span>.
This allows, for example, for the coefficient table to be a table of integers
if this is appropriate.

<p>
Evaluates the rational function (the ratio of two polynomials) described
by the coefficients stored in <span class="emphasis"><em>num</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>demom</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
If the size of the array is specified at runtime then both polynomials most
have order <span class="emphasis"><em>count-1</em></span> with <span class="emphasis"><em>count</em></span> coefficients.
Otherwise both polynomials have order <span class="emphasis"><em>N-1</em></span> with <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>
coefficients.
</p>
<p>
Array <span class="emphasis"><em>num</em></span> describes the numerator, and <span class="emphasis"><em>demon</em></span>
the denominator.
</p>
<p>
Coefficients should be stored such that the coefficients for the x<sup>i </sup> terms
are in num[i] and denom[i].
</p>
<p>
The types of the coefficients and of variable <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span> may
differ as long as <span class="emphasis"><em>*num</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>*denom</em></span>
are convertible to type <span class="emphasis"><em>V</em></span>. This allows, for example,
for one or both of the coefficient tables to be a table of integers if this
is appropriate.
</p>
<p>
These functions are designed to safely evaluate the result, even when the
value <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> is very large. As such they do not take advantage
of compile time array sizes to make any optimisations. These functions are
best reserved for situations where <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> may be large: if
you can be sure that numerical overflow will not occur then polynomial evaluation
with compile-time array sizes may offer slightly better performance.

<p>
Polynomials are evaluated by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner_algorithm" target="_top">Horners
method</a>. If the array size is known at compile time then the functions
dispatch to size-specific implementations that unroll the evaluation loop.
</p>
<p>
Rational evaluation is by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner_algorithm" target="_top">Horners
method</a>: with the two polynomials being evaluated in parallel to make
the most of the processors floating-point pipeline. If <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span>
is greater than one, then the polynomials are evaluated in reverse order
as polynomials in <span class="emphasis"><em>1/v</em></span>: this avoids unnecessary numerical
overflow when the coefficients are large.
</p>
<p>
Both the polynomial and rational function evaluation algorithms can be tuned
using various configuration macros to provide optimal performance for a particular
combination of compiler and platform. This includes support for second-order
Horner's methods. The various options are <a class="link" href="../tuning.html" title="Performance Tuning Macros">documented
here</a>. However, the performance benefits to be gained from these are
marginal on most current hardware, consequently it's best to run the <a class="link" href="../perf_test_app.html" title="The Performance Test Applications">performance test application</a>
before changing the default settings.
