You're right; my test code was wrong, but testing the i==32 case my code still works. It shifts the mask by 0 bits, leaving all bits set.
(~0u) and 0xffffffffu will have the same value (all-bits-one) as long as int is 32 bits (true on all our platforms). The former may be easier on the eyes (less chance of typing only 6 "f"s instead of 8!)
