Those types are not quite right.. What about this?

    check_shift_overflow(a, s, d) ({
        unsigned int _nbits = 8*sizeof(d) - is_signed_type(d);
        typeof(d) _a = a;  // Shift is always performed on type 'd'
        typeof(s) _s = s;
        typeof(d) _d = d;
 
        *_d = (_a << (_s & (_nbits-1)));

	(((*_d) >> (_s & (_nbits-1)) != _a);
    })

And can we use mathamatcial invertability to prove no overlow and
bound _a ? As above.
