/**
 * This file contains an implementation of the HighPrecision class.
 * Each instance of the Time class also contains an instance of this
 * class which is used to perform all the arithmetic operations of
 * the Time class.
 *
 * This code is a bit ugly with a lot of inline methods for speed:
 * profiling this code on anything but the simplest scenarios shows
 * that it is a big bottleneck if great care in its implementation
 * is not performed. My observations are that what dominates are 
 * Division operations (there are really really super costly)
 * and Comparison operations (because there are typically a lot of
 * these in any complex timekeeping code).
 *
 * So, the code tries really hard to perform any of these 128 bit 
 * operations by doing all arithmetic on 64 bit integers when possible
 * (i.e., when there is no fractional part. This is a very common case).
 * Hence, the following code has a m_fastValue (64 bits) and a 
 * m_slowValue (128 bits). m_fastValue is used by default and the code
 * converts it to a m_slowValue when needed.
 *
 * If you want to monitor the efficiency of this strategy, you can 
 * enable the macro HP128INC below and call the HighPrecision::PrintStats
 * method at the end of the simulation.
 *
 *  Explanation of Slow and Fast values:
 *
 * HighPrecision class create a fastValue and a slowValue depending on the
 * input number. If the input is an integer with 0 fractional part, it will
 * use the fastValue which will contain the integer in a 64 bits format. If
 * it has a fractional part, the slowValue will be used. It is represented
 * simply as a high part slowValue.hi which will contain the integer part
 * and the fractional part slowValue.lo which will contain the factional
 * part as an integer (obtained by multiplying the fractional part by 2^64).
 *
 * Explanation of Slow and Fast operations:
 *
 * If both operands are fastValues, we will perform fast operations, i-e
 * simply using integer operations. If we have though one of the value is
 * slowValue we need to convert the fastValue into a slow one. It is simply
 * obtained by putting the slowValue.lo = 0 and slowValue.hi = fastValue.
 * After that we apply the slow operation which will be a 128 bits operation
 * with two 128 bits operands.
