Warning C26452

Arithmetic overflow: Left shift count is negative or greater than or equal to the operand size, which is undefined behavior (io.3)

Remarks

This warning indicates the shift count is negative, or greater than or equal to the number of bits in the shifted operand. Either case results in undefined behavior.

Warning C4293 is a similar check in the Microsoft C++ compiler.

Code analysis name: SHIFT_COUNT_NEGATIVE_OR_TOO_BIG

Example

unsigned long long combine(unsigned lo, unsigned hi)
{
  return (hi << 32) | lo; // C26252 here
}

To correct this warning, use the following code:

unsigned long long combine(unsigned lo, unsigned hi)
{
  return (static_cast<unsigned __int64>(hi) << 32) | lo; // OK
}
