warning: left shift count >= width of type

by

long may be a 64-bit type, but 1 is still an int. You need to make 1 a long int using the L suffix:

unsigned long x = 1UL << 32;

(You should also make it unsigned using the U suffix as I’ve shown, to avoid the issues of left shifting a signed integer. There’s no problem when a long is 64 bits wide and you shift by 32 bits, but it would be a problem if you shifted 63 bits)
