Well, I think the rules actually make sense, at the point in the syntax
tree where + happens, we have 'unsigned char' and 'int', so at that
point we promote to 'int'. Subsequently 'int' gets shifted and bad
things happen.

The 'unsigned long' doesn't happen until quite a bit later.

Anyway, the rules are imo fairly clear and logical, but yes they can be
annoying. The really silly thing here is that << and >> have UB at all,
and I would love a -fwrapv style flag that simply defines it. Yes it
will generate worse code in some cases, but having the UB there is just
stupid.

That of course doesn't help your case here, it would simply misbehave
and not be UB.

Another thing the C rules cannot really express is a 32x32->64
multiplication, some (older) versions of GCC can be tricked into it, but
mostly it just doesn't want to do that sanely and the C rules are
absolutely no help there.
