The right shift argument can be any integer or Ivec value, and is implicitly converted to a M64 data type. The first or left operand of a << can be of any type except I[s|u]8vec[8|16] .
Automatic size and sign conversion.
Is16vec4 A,C;
Iu32vec2 B;
C = A;
A&B returns I16vec4, which must be cast to Iu16vec4 to ensure logical shift, not arithmetic shift.
Is16vec4 A, C;
Iu16vec4 B, R;
R = (Iu16vec4)(A & B) C;
A&B returns I16vec4, which must be cast to Is16vec4 to ensure arithmetic shift, not logical shift.
R = (Is16vec4)(A & B) C;

Right shift operations with signed data types use arithmetic shifts. All unsigned and intermediate classes correspond to logical shifts. The following table shows how the return type is determined by the first argument type.
| Operation | R | Right Shift | Left Shift | A | B | ||
