However relevant that is today :-) I thought only right shifts of negative values were 'undefined'. And that was to allow cpu that only had logical shift right (ie ones that didn't propagate the sign) to be conformant. I wonder when the last cpu like that was? Quite why the standards keeps using the term 'undefined behaviour' beats me - there ought to be something for 'undefined value'.
