[c++] Modulo operator with negative values

From ISO14882:2011(e) 5.6-4:

The binary / operator yields the quotient, and the binary % operator yields the remainder from the division of the first expression by the second. If the second operand of / or % is zero the behavior is undefined. For integral operands the / operator yields the algebraic quotient with any fractional part discarded; if the quotient a/b is representable in the type of the result, (a/b)*b + a%b is equal to a.

The rest is basic math:

(-7/3) => -2
-2 * 3 => -6
so a%b => -1

(7/-3) => -2
-2 * -3 => 6
so a%b => 1

Note that

If both operands are nonnegative then the remainder is nonnegative; if not, the sign of the remainder is implementation-defined.
