Integer types smaller than int are promoted when an operation is performed on them. If all values of the original type can be represented as an int, the value of the smaller type is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int (see INT02-C. Understand integer conversion rules). If the conversion is to a wider type, the original value is zero-extended for unsigned values or sign-extended for signed types. Consequently, bitwise operations on integer types smaller than int may have unexpected results.
