I think you meant "Assuming CHAR_BIT == 8, sizeof(int) == 4, and
sizeof(unsigned long long) == 8".

Please, are you a lawyer?

you say that like it's a bad thing...

Note: sizeof returns the number of chars in an object (or type)
*not* the number of bits.


Can you tell me of a machine where char_bit != 8 ?

And please, a machine in use 2007 ok?

But like you I'm puzzled as to why a 32-bit shift
on a 64-bit quantity doesn't yield the top 32-bits.
Unless I misunderstood something...
