Moreover, is there any difference if I try this with gcc. ( i don't have it currently .. :(
This is what the C99 Standard has to say about it:
"The integer promotions are performed on each of the
operands. The type of the result is that of the promoted
left operand. If the value of the right operand is negative
or is greater than or equal to the width of the promoted
left operand, the behavior is undefined."
