When would "right shift [be] undefined"?
When 64 halvings have occurred. You can't shift a 64-bit number (
nSubsidy) more than 64 times:You can do a left shift greater than or equal to 64-bits by doing exactly what you're doing.This, of course, won't result in anything usable (either the original value, zero, or something else), and is undefined behavior, so don't do it.
