  sc_signed.h -- Arbitrary precision signed arithmetic.
 
    This file includes the definitions of sc_signed_bitref,
    sc_signed_subref, and sc_signed classes. The first two classes are
    proxy classes to reference one bit and a range of bits of a
    sc_signed number, respectively.
 
    An sc_signed number has the sign-magnitude representation
    internally. However, its interface guarantees a 2's-complement
    representation. The sign-magnitude representation is chosen
    because of its efficiency: The sc_signed and sc_unsigned types are
    optimized for arithmetic rather than bitwise operations. For
    arithmetic operations, the sign-magnitude representation performs
    better.
 
    The implementations of sc_signed and sc_unsigned classes are
    almost identical: Most of the member and friend functions are
    defined in sc_nbcommon.cpp and sc_nbfriends.cpp so that they can
    be shared by both of these classes. These functions are chosed by
    defining a few macros before including them such as IF_SC_SIGNED
    and CLASS_TYPE. Our implementation choices are mostly dictated by
    performance considerations in that we tried to provide the most
    efficient sc_signed and sc_unsigned types without compromising
    their interface.
 
    For the behavior of operators, we have two semantics: the old and
    new. The most important difference between these two semantics is
    that the old semantics is closer to C/C++ semantics in that the
    result type of a binary operator on unsigned and signed arguments
    is unsigned; the new semantics, on the other hand, requires the
    result type be signed. The new semantics is required by the VSIA
    C/C++ data types standard. We have implemented the new semantics.

    The comparison of the old and new semantics are as follows:
 
    Let s = sc_signed,
        u = sc_unsigned,
        un = { uint64, unsigned long, unsigned int },
        sn = { int64, long, int, char* }, and
        OP = { +, -, *, /, % }.
 
    Old semantics:                     New semantics:
      u OP u -> u                        u OP u -> u
      s OP u -> u                        s OP u -> s
      u OP s -> u                        u OP s -> s
      s OP s -> s                        s OP s -> s
 
      u OP un = un OP u -> u             u OP un = un OP u -> u
      u OP sn = sn OP u -> u             u OP sn = sn OP u -> s
 
      s OP un = un OP s -> s             s OP un = un OP s -> s
      s OP sn = sn OP s -> s             s OP sn = sn OP s -> s
 
    In the new semantics, the result is u if both operands are u; the
    result is s otherwise. The only exception is subtraction. The result
    of a subtraction is always s.
 
    The old semantics is like C/C++ semantics on integer types; the
    new semantics is due to the VSIA C/C++ data types standard.
