Subject: Left-shift of negative number
According to the C11 standard, doing a left-shift on a negative integer is considered as an undefined behavior (6.5.7:4).
This undefined behavior occurs in files src/multibyte/internal.c and src/multibyte/internal.h.
At line 21 in the header (http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/multibyte/internal.h?id=0f9c2666aca95eb98eb0ef4f4d8d1473c8ce3fa0#n21),
the implementation of the macro-definition R allow to have a negative value on the expression ((a == 0x80) ? 0x40-b : -a) << 23.
In fact, in the source file, at the line 11 (http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/multibyte/internal.c?id=0f9c2666aca95eb98eb0ef4f4d8d1473c8ce3fa0#n11).
During the application of the macro-definition R(0x90, 0xc0), we have a != 0x90, so it's try to do (-0x90) << 23, which is an undefined behavior.
This bug was found in the context of the libc cross-testing project (a post blog has been written on this subject yesterday: http://trust-in-soft.com/the-libc-cross-testing-project)
