Could it work if we just use 1ULL instead of 1 here? Thanks,

In either case we're talking about shifting off the end of the
variable, which I understand to be undefined. Right? Thanks,

How so? Bits fall off the left (MSB) end, zeroes fill in the right (LSB)
end. I believe that behavior is pretty set.

Maybe I'm relying too much on stackoverflow, but:

No, probably not. I don't have my copy of c99 handy, so can't check it. But it is beyond me why any compiler implementation would choose to use a rotate instead of a shift... probably a performance issue.

So, yeah, when you have silly parameters, you get what you get.

I'll stick to my suggestion. Which seems unambiguous... but I could be wrong.
