The following code snippet fails:

// set TYPE to "int" or "long" (works fine for "char")
#define TYPE int

int
main () {
volatile unsigned char count;
volatile unsigned TYPE ires, ibase;

count = 5;
ibase = 0x1234;
//ires = ((unsigned TYPE)0x1234) >> 5;
ires = ((unsigned TYPE)0x1234) >> count; // this
line fails
//ires = ibase >> 5;
ires = ibase >> count; // this line fails

return 0;
}

Compiling it with "sdcc -mpic16 -p18f452" fails:

I tried it with SDCC : pic16 2.4.4 #846 (Sep 21 2004)
