Hello.
In GCC (version 4.9.1 20140903 on x86_64) when I write
1u << 32u;
I will get correct result 0u.
But if I write
unsigned thirty_two_unsigned = 32u;
1u << thirty_two_unsigned;
I will get incorrect result 1u.
(It is the same in the right-shift.)
I do not know if it is an error or regular behaviour (i. e. undefined
by ANSI/ISO C).
