Bitshift and integer promotion?

by

The so-called usual arithmetic conversions apply to many binary operators, but not all of them. For example they do not apply to the bit shift operators, &&, ||, comma operator, and assignment operators. This is the rule for the bit shift operators:

6.5.7 … 3 Semantics …
The integer promotions are performed on each of the operands. The type of the result is that of the promoted left operand. If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined.
