The type of "a" must be unsigned, and there is no "b".
"shift" can be of an integral type, and it probably is a good idea
to feed a positive value that is smaller than bitsizeof(type(a)),
but we probably do not have to say anything about it.

maximum_unsigned_value_of_type() does take bitsizeof() of the thing,
but it only needs the type of it, not the value, so I doubt that it
would evaluate 'a' even once. This macro does need the value of 'a'
so it would evaluate it once.

try:
unsigned a = 0;
int ov = unsigned_left_shift_overflows(++a, 4);
printf("a = %d, ov = %d\n", a, ov);
return 0;
I think you'd get "a = 1".
