Shift amount exceeds bit width
Negative shift amount

Can detect violations of this rule. Unsigned operands are detected when checking for INT13-C. Use bitwise operators only on unsigned operands

BAD_SHIFT

Context sensitive analysis
Warns whenever Cppcheck sees a negative shift for a POD expression
(The warning for shifting too many bits is written only if Cppcheck has sufficient type information and you use --platform to specify the sizes of the standard types.)
