[issue1205239] Let shift operators take any integer value

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

One other thought: you could always compute the expression

  crc >> (crc_width - 8)

as

  crc << 8 >> crc_width

Since you're computing crc << 8 anyway, this doesn't increase the operations count, so probably wouldn't significant impact performance.
