I've done the >> 0 thing to make it very clear what's going on, but I hadn't considered the * 8 construction. That's actually easier to comprehend at a glance because the numbers become less "magic". (8 and 16 are obvious to me, but 24 always has me second-guessing myself somewhere in the back of my mind)

I use octal for this.

  x << (3 * 8);

vs.

  x << 030;
