Subject: [Bug c++/49510] New: bitshift warnings

           Summary: bitshift warnings
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.5.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: claytongdavis@gmail.com


This is a request to improve the warnings for bitshifts where the right operand
is negative or >= the size of the left operand.  I am aware that this is
undefined behavior, but a warning would be nice in a case like the one included
below.  GCC implements a cyclic bitshift instead.

$ more gcc_bitshift.C 
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  int shift = 32;
  std::cout<<"0xFFFFFFFF>>32 = "<<(0xFFFFFFFF>>shift)<<std::endl;
  std::cout<<"1<<32 = "<<(1<<shift)<<std::endl;

  shift = -1;
  std::cout<<"0xFFFFFFFF>>(-1) = "<<(0xFFFFFFFF>>shift)<<std::endl;
  std::cout<<"1<<(-1) = "<<(1<<shift)<<std::endl;
}

$ g++ -Wall -Wextra gcc_bitshift.C 

$ ./a.out 
0xFFFFFFFF>>32 = 4294967295
1<<32 = 1
0xFFFFFFFF>>(-1) = 1
1<<(-1) = -2147483648

$ g++ -v
