[Bug 1786] Fix for os << (int64x64_t) and fractional arithmetic Arithmetic with fractions was never tested and it had lots of bugs. This patch set: - Defines many more tests, giving complete coverage of all operations (signed/unsigned, integer, fractions, mixed) - Replaces over-generous #define creation of functions with minimal set of C++ functions. - Minimizes differences between implementations. - Documents all functions. int128 and cairo implementations agree exactly on all int64x64 tests, and pass all ns-3 tests. long double implementation agrees with the other two on most int64x64 tests; failures have to do with less precision in long doubles. The prior double implementation failed five ns-3 tests: devices-mesh-dot11s-regression devices-mesh-flame-regression int64x64 routing-aodv-regression routing-olsr-regression This implementation fails routing-olsr-regression because of single bit differences in the pcap files.
