   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       log1p(), log1pf(), log1pl(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE ||
       _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION
       log1p(x) returns a value equivalent to

	   log (1 + x)

       It is computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of x is near
       zero.
