The comment "Compute *d = (a << s)" looks misleading to me because what the macro
computes is *d = ((u64)a << s). Shouldn't sizeof(*d) be changed into sizeof(a) to
make this macro compute (a << s)?

The assignment "*d = *_d" looks superfluous to me. Since _d == d, how could that
assignment be useful?

Additionally, the above macro stores a value into *d even if an overflow has been
detected. Is that how this macro is intended to work?

Thanks,

Bart.
