dnl @synopsis AX_SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT
dnl
dnl Tests the behavior of a right shift on a negative signed int.
dnl
dnl This macro calls:
dnl   AC_DEFINE(SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_IS)
dnl   AC_DEFINE(ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT)
dnl   AC_DEFINE(LOGICAL_RIGHT_SHIFT)
dnl   AC_DEFINE(UNKNOWN_RIGHT_SHIFT)
dnl
dnl SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_IS will be equal to one of the other macros.
dnl It also leaves the shell variables "ax_signed_right_shift"
dnl set to "arithmetic", "logical", or "unknown".
dnl
dnl NOTE: This macro does not work for cross-compiling.
