    Struggling to see what I did wrong

    Was doing some checking on my bnum_t functions/math and found a lot of mistakes, I've managed to fix them so far up to this point but now I just can't spot what I did wrong, here's the relevant segment of output:
    Code:
    operation(1726956429,'<',5) call 4
    rstarted 1198, rstopped 1199, nstarted 1199, nstopped 1228
    num << val -571969120, 1709982365
    Numerical argument out of domain
    ../makefile:15: recipe for target 'run' failed
    make: *** [run] Error 1
    Compilation failed.
    And the function I'm testing:
    Code:
    int bnum_op_shl( bnum_t num, bnum_t const val ) {
    	int ret = bnum_mem_chk( num );
    	size_t mov, bit, i;
    	bnum_t max = {bnum_init};
    	bit_t n, v;
    	if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
    	ret = bnum_mem_chk( val );
    	if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
    	if ( bnum_op_nil( val ) )
    		return 0;
    	max = int2bnum( &mov, sizeof(size_t), 0 );
    	mov = num.width;
    	if ( bnum_op_gte( val, max ) )
    		return bnum_op_muv( num, 0 );
    	/* Here onwards should be the only faulty code */
    	mov = B_WIDTH;
    	n = v = num.stop;
    	while ( bnum_op_gth( val, max ) ) {
    		v.byte--;
    		v.b -= B_WIDTH;
    		mov += B_WIDTH;
    	}
    	--mov;
    	while ( bnum_op_lth( val, max ) ) {
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    		--mov;
    	}
    	while ( v.b ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    		if ( val.value[v.byte] & v.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] |= n.bit;
    		else if ( num.value[n.bit] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    	while ( n.b ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		if ( num.value[n.bit] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    	return 0;
    }
    And if you're curious the full output:
    Code:

    Why does less-than appear as left-shift?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Was using a switch statement, compiler complained when I tried multi-byte characters so I separated the operation testing into separate functions, that character just made it easy to quickly identify what operation I was testing in that function, used a loop with dedicate arrays to get consistent handling

    Edit: Have to go to work, intend to check back tomorrow

    Was looking at my code while waiting to start work and noticed I used n.bit instead of n.byte to access an array member, this post is just a reminder for me to correct that, might fix the result in turn

    Fixed the wrong variable usage but the problem remains the same, just different output
    Code:
    int bnum_op_shl( bnum_t num, bnum_t const val ) {
    	int ret = bnum_mem_chk( num );
    	size_t mov, bit, i;
    	bnum_t max = {bnum_init};
    	bit_t n, v, e;
    	if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
    	ret = bnum_mem_chk( val );
    	if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
    	mov = num.width;
    	max = int2bnum( &mov, sizeof(size_t), 0 );
    	if ( bnum_op_gte( val, max ) )
    		return num.sig_bit ? bnum_op_mdv( num, 0 ) : bnum_op_muv( num, 0 );
    	(void)bnum_op_cpy( max, val );
    	if ( !mov ) return 0;
    	n = v = num.stop;
    	e = bit_op_dec(num.stop);
    	e.bit = num.sig_bit ? (num.value[e.byte] & e.bit) : 0;
    	while ( mov >= B_WIDTH ) {
    		v.byte--;
    		v.b -= B_WIDTH;
    		mov -= B_WIDTH;
    	}
    	while ( --mov )
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    	while ( v.b ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    		if ( val.value[v.byte] & v.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] |= n.bit;
    		else if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    	while ( n.b ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    	if ( num.sig_bit )
    		num.value[e.byte] |= e.bit;
    	return 0;

    Fixed it, didn't realise I had been extracting bits from wrong variable during the loop stage, here's the changed part:
    Code:
    int bnum_op_shl( bnum_t num, bnum_t const val ) {
    ...
    	while ( mov-- )
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    	while ( v.b ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    		if ( num.value[v.byte] & v.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] |= n.bit;
    		else if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    ...
    Took 5 cycles for an 8 byte integer so not horrendous like when my first attempt (29 cycles), that call to bnum_op_cpy() made a huge difference cycle wise, gonna attempt to reduce that further by doing an #ifdef for optimizing via speed or size

    Well I did some refinements (with the original functions converted to macros using the below), left shift is working as expected and right shift is ALMOST working as expected but some wierd error occured in the middle as you can see via the binary at the bottom ("r" uses int >> int & "t" uses bnum_t >> bnum_t).
    Code:
    Code:
    int bnum_op_shl_z( bnum_t num, size_t val ) {
    	int ret = bnum_mem_chk( num );
    	bit_t n, v, e;
    	if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
    	if ( !val ) return 0;
    	else if ( val >= num.width )
    		return bnum_op_min( num );
    	n = v = num.stop;
    	e = bit_op_dec(n);
    	e.bit = num.sig_bit ? (num.value[e.byte] & e.bit) : 0;
    	while ( val >= B_WIDTH ) {
    		v.byte--;
    		v.b -= B_WIDTH;
    		val -= B_WIDTH;
    	}
    	while ( val-- )
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    	while ( v.b ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);
    		if ( num.value[v.byte] & v.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] |= n.bit;
    		else if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    	while ( n.b ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    	if ( num.sig_bit )
    		num.value[e.byte] |= e.bit;
    	return 0;
    }
    int bnum_op_shr_z( bnum_t num, size_t val ) {
    	int ret = bnum_mem_chk( num );
    	bit_t n, v, e;
    	if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
    	if ( !val ) return 0;
    	else if ( val >= num.width )
    		return bnum_op_min( num );
    	n = v = num.init;
    	e = bit_op_dec(n);
    	e.bit = num.sig_bit ? (num.value[e.byte] & e.bit) : 0;
    	while ( val >= B_WIDTH ) {
    		v.byte++;
    		v.b += B_WIDTH;
    		val -= B_WIDTH;
    	}
    	while ( val-- )
    		v = bit_op_inc(v);
    	for ( ; v.b < num.width; n = bit_op_inc(n), v = bit_op_inc(v) ) {
    		if ( num.value[v.byte] & v.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] |= n.bit;
    		else if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )
    			num.value[n.byte] ^= n.bit;
    	}
    	for ( ; v.b < num.width; n = bit_op_inc(n) ) {
    		n = bit_op_dec(n);
    		if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )

    Fixed it, had to change the type of val from size_t to ssize_t and add a check for which loop to finish off with:
    Code:
    int bnum_op_shl_z( bnum_t num, ssize_t val ) {
    	int ret = bnum_mem_chk( num );
    	bit_t n, v, e;
    	size_t mov = (val < 0 && val > -SSIZE_MAX) ? -val : val;
    	if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
    	if ( !mov ) return 0;
    	else if ( mov >= num.width )
    		return bnum_op_min( num );
    	n = v = num.stop;
    	e = bit_op_dec(n);
    	e.bit = num.sig_bit ? (num.value[e.byte] & e.bit) : 0;
    	while ( mov >= B_WIDTH ) {
    		v.byte--;
    		v.b -= B_WIDTH;
    		val -= B_WIDTH;
    	}
    	while ( mov-- )
    		v = bit_op_dec(v);

    		else if ( num.value[n.byte] & n.bit )
