--- Comment #4 from David Chisnall <theraven@FreeBSD.org> ---
The code in the test case contains undefined behaviour.  `IntBits` is 64 - =
20,
whcih is 44.  `1U` is an `unsigned int`, which is 32 bits.  `1U<<44` is a s=
hift
of greater than the width od the type, which is undefined behaviour.

This is *probably* benign here, because array sizes in arguments in C/C++ a=
re
ignored and so this probably won't propagate into the generated IR (though =
if
it does, both clang and GCC will take advantage of the UB and probably redu=
ce
this to something that traps.

The correct fix is to change `1U` to `1ULL`.  Rejecting code that contains
undefined behaviour is both allowed by the standard and generally considered
more user-friendly behaviour than accepting it and generating broken code.
