 * See my question:
 * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40416682/portable-way-to-serialize-float-as-32-bit-integer
 *
 * Regarding the float32_auto functions:
 *
 * Noticed that frexp and ldexp fit the format of the IEEE float representation, so
 * they should be quite fast. They are (more or less) equivalent with the following:
 *
 * float frexp_slow(float f, int *e) {
 *     if (f == 0.0) {
 *         *e = 0;
 *         return 0.0;
 *     }
 *
 *     *e = ceilf(log2f(fabsf(f)));
 *     float res = f / powf(2.0, (float)*e);
 *
 *     if (res >= 1.0) {
 *         res -= 0.5;
 *         *e += 1;
 *     }
 *
 *     if (res <= -1.0) {
 *         res += 0.5;
 *         *e += 1;
 *     }
 *
 *     return res;
 * }
 *
 * float ldexp_slow(float f, int e) {
 *     return f * powf(2.0, (float)e);
 * }
 *
 * 8388608.0 is 2^23, which scales the result to fit within 23 bits if sig_abs < 1.0.
 *
 * This should be a relatively fast and efficient way to serialize
 * floating point numbers in a fully defined manner.
