Preprocessor constant expressions are evaluated with at least the range of the largest integer type available at run time. The C standard requires that "long" have at least 32 bits. So a shift right by 30 in a preprocessor constant expression looks good to me.

Aren't you talking about how expressions are evaluated in #if there? An expression form that shows up in a macro that is then embedded in normal C code just becomes part of the C code that could potentially get evaluated with C rules at compile time; it's not inherently evaluated at preprocessor time.

I am, yes! Thanks for the correction! I thought it was an #if expression, but it presumably isn't. (You can expand arbitrary macros in an #if expression, but it's not often done.)
