It was pointed out to me by a colleague that the B19 proposal neglected to
specify the type of output supplied by the new arithmetic shift operator. I
would like to remedy that now.
I propose that the result of both arithmetic and logical shift operators
shall be the same type as the left-hand operand of the shift operation.
The other alternative is for arithmetic shifts to produce a signed result,
and logical shifts to produce an unsigned result, regardless of the operands.
At the moment, I'm really on the fence about this one. Any suggestions one
way or the other?
Thanks,
-Tom
