It depends on whether the type is signed or unsigned. Actually it's
unspecified for shifts to signed values which are negative, but any
real-world implementation will have correct signed shifts. This is one
of the (fewer, these days, at least) remaining idiocies in the C
standard, akin to the stupidity of allowing a floating-point
implementation where every float expression evaluates to zero..
