 // Description
 //=========================================
-// The acos function computes the principle value of the arc sine of x.
+// The acos function computes the principal value of the arc cosine of x.
+// acos(0) returns Pi/2, acos(1) returns 0, acos(-1) returns Pi.
 // A doman error occurs for arguments not in the range [-1,+1].
+//
+// The acos function returns the arc cosine in the range [0, Pi] radians.
+//
+// There are 8 paths:
+// 1. x = +/-0.0
+//    Return acos(x) = Pi/2 + x
+//
+// 2. 0.0 < |x| < 0.625
+//    Return acos(x) = Pi/2 - x - x^3 *PolA(x^2)
+//    where PolA(x^2) = A3 + A5*x^2 + A7*x^4 +...+ A35*x^32
+//
+// 3. 0.625 <=|x| < 1.0
+//    Return acos(x) = Pi/2 - asin(x) =
+//                   = Pi/2 - sign(x) * ( Pi/2 - sqrt(R) * PolB(R))
+//    Where R = 1 - |x|,
+//          PolB(R) = B0 + B1*R + B2*R^2 +...+B12*R^12
+//
+//    sqrt(R) is approximated using the following sequence:
+//        y0 = (1 + eps)/sqrt(R) - initial approximation by frsqrta,
+//             |eps| < 2^(-8)
+//        Then 3 iterations are used to refine the result:
+//        H0 = 0.5*y0
+//        S0 = R*y0
+//
+//        d0 = 0.5 - H0*S0
+//        H1 = H0 + d0*H0
+//        S1 = S0 + d0*S0
+//
+//        d1 = 0.5 - H1*S1
+//        H2 = H1 + d0*H1
+//        S2 = S1 + d0*S1
+//
+//        d2 = 0.5 - H2*S2
+//        S3 = S3 + d2*S3
+//
+//        S3 approximates sqrt(R) with enough accuracy for this algorithm
+//
+//    So, the result should be reconstracted as follows:
+//    acos(x) = Pi/2 - sign(x) * (Pi/2 - S3*PolB(R))
+//
+//    But for optimization purposes the reconstruction step is slightly
+//    changed:
+//    acos(x) = Cpi + sign(x)*PolB(R)*S2 - sign(x)*d2*S2*PolB(R)
+//        where Cpi = 0 if x > 0 and Cpi = Pi if x < 0
+//
+// 4. |x| = 1.0
+//    Return acos(1.0) = 0.0, acos(-1.0) = Pi
+//
+// 5. 1.0 < |x| <= +INF
+//    A doman error occurs for arguments not in the range [-1,+1]
+//
+// 6. x = [S,Q]NaN
+//    Return acos(x) = QNaN
+//
+// 7. x is denormal
+//    Return acos(x) = Pi/2 - x,
+//
+// 8. x is unnormal
+//    Normalize input in f8 and return to the very beginning of the function
+//
+// Registers used
+//==============================================================
+// Floating Point registers used:
+// f8, input, output
+// f6, f7, f9 -> f15, f32 -> f64
 
-// The acos function returns the arc cosine in the range [0, +pi] radians.
-// acos(1) returns +0, acos(-1) returns pi, acos(0) returns pi/2.
-// acos(x) returns a Nan and raises the invalid exception for |x| >1
+// General registers used:
+// r3, r21 -> r31, r32 -> r38
 
-// The acos function is just like asin except that pi/2 is added at the end.
+// Predicate registers used:
+// p0, p6 -> p14
