Tried a simple program that left shifts the long long 33 times, the result displayed is wrong and not what is expected of shifting 1 <<33
Sample code follows, int main() { unsigned long long var=1; long long m =1; printf(" %lu ", (var <<33)); printf("\n %lu ", (m <<33)); return 0; } Using built-in specs.
