Writing the value with leading zeros (0x04000000) would it more
readable.
Also the OS-specific range mask (SHF_MASKOS) is 0x0ff00000. Any reason
you went with 0x04000000 as opposed to the first value in the range
(0x00100000)? I don't see anybody else using that value.

Similar question here, why not use 0xff20 (SHN_LOOS)?
