- The PR description focuses on the RULE-7-0-4 shift-range predicate, but this PR also changes the shared hidden-inherited-member-function library used by RULE-6-4-2 (and A7-3-1). Please update the PR description to mention this additional functional area so reviewers understand the full scope of the change.

Description
This pull request introduces a new predicate to help validate constant ranges for shift operations in the
InappropriateBitwiseOrShiftOperands.qlrule. The main change is the addition of theisValidShiftConstantRangepredicate, which checks the range of constant values used in shift expressions.Change request type
.ql,.qll,.qlsor unit tests)Rules with added or modified queries
Release change checklist
A change note (development_handbook.md#change-notes) is required for any pull request which modifies:
If you are only adding new rule queries, a change note is not required.
Author: Is a change note required?
🚨🚨🚨
Reviewer: Confirm that format of shared queries (not the .qll file, the
.ql file that imports it) is valid by running them within VS Code.
Reviewer: Confirm that either a change note is not required or the change note is required and has been added.
Query development review checklist
For PRs that add new queries or modify existing queries, the following checklist should be completed by both the author and reviewer:
Author
As a rule of thumb, predicates specific to the query should take no more than 1 minute, and for simple queries be under 10 seconds. If this is not the case, this should be highlighted and agreed in the code review process.
