example.cc prints expressions with shift-count-overflow

This may be new to C++14, but section 5.8 of draft standard
(<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n4296.pdf">http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n4296.pdf</a>) allows for
shifting unsigned integers by more than their size.

Hence at least in C++14, with 64bit long longs:
    assert(~0ULL << 64 == 0)


Note that the C11 standard by contrast allows for "undefined behavior" in this
case.

I have not check previous draft versions of the C++ standard or the actual
standard to see if this clause has recently changed.

The attached example.cc produces this output on my x86_64 workstation:

                  sizeof(0ULL) = 8
                         ~0ULL = 0xffffffffffffffff
     ~0ULL << (8*sizeof(0ULL)) = 0x1
  ~(~0ULL << (8*sizeof(0ULL))) = 0x1
                    sizeof(0U) = 4
                           ~0U = 0xffffffff
         ~0U << (8*sizeof(0U)) = 0x1
      ~(~0U << (8*sizeof(0U))) = 0x1</pre>
