    // range [0, 2^32] which does not fit in a uint32_t and therefore requires
    // 64 bits.
    //
    // Second, `c` is constructed by first casting explicitly to a signed
    // integer and then converting implicitly to an unsigned integer of the same
    // size.  This is done because the hardware conversion instructions produce
    // signed integers from double; if taken as a uint64_t the conversion would
    // be wrong for doubles greater than 2^63 (not relevant in this use-case).
    // If converted directly to an unsigned integer, the compiler would end up
    // emitting code to handle such large values that are not relevant due to
    // the known bounds on `c`.  To avoid these extra instructions this
    // implementation converts first to the signed type and then use the
    // implicit conversion to unsigned (which is a no-op).
    const uint64_t c = static_cast<int64_t>(p * kP32);

    // FAST PATH: this path fails with probability 1/2^32.  Note that simply
    // returning v <= c would approximate P very well (up to an absolute error
    // of 1/2^32); the slow path (taken in that range of possible error, in the
    // case of equality) eliminates the remaining error.
    if (ABSL_PREDICT_TRUE(v != c)) return v < c;

    // It is guaranteed that `q` is strictly less than 1, because if `q` were
    // greater than or equal to 1, the same would be true for `p`. Certainly `p`
    // cannot be greater than 1, and if `p == 1`, then the fast path would
    // necessary have been taken already.

    // The probability of acceptance on the fast path is `q` and so the
    // probability of acceptance here should be `p - q`.
    //
    // Note that `q` is obtained from `p` via some shifts and conversions, the
    // upshot of which is that `q` is simply `p` with some of the
    // least-significant bits of its mantissa set to zero. This means that the
    // difference `p - q` will not have any rounding errors. To see why, pretend
    // that double has 10 bits of resolution and q is obtained from `p` in such
    // a way that the 4 least-significant bits of its mantissa are set to zero.
    // For example:
    //   p   = 1.1100111011 * 2^-1
    //   q   = 1.1100110000 * 2^-1
    // p - q = 1.011        * 2^-8
    // The difference `p - q` has exactly the nonzero mantissa bits that were
    // "lost" in `q` producing a number which is certainly representable in a
    // double.
    const double left = p - q;

    // By construction, the probability of being on this slow path is 1/2^32, so
    // P(accept in slow path) = P(accept| in slow path) * P(slow path),
    // which means the probability of acceptance here is `1 / (left * kP32)`:
    const double here = left * kP32;

    // The simplest way to compute the result of this trial is to repeat the
    // whole algorithm with the new probability. This terminates because even
    // given  arbitrarily unfriendly "random" bits, each iteration either
    // multiplies a tiny probability by 2^32 (if c == 0) or strips off some
    // number of nonzero mantissa bits. That process is bounded.
