56805 DSP and I am trying to shift 16 places to the left into an unsigned
long (32-bit size).

unsigned long big_value = 0;

big_value = 1 << 16;

big_value is still zero.

What am I missing?

Hello Mark

you probably have to type-cast the "1" into a long before the shift
operationg, otherwise the compiler treats it as a short integer,
shifting its 1 bit into nothingness.

big_value = (long)(1) << 16;

Best regards
Robert

Try this:
big_value = 1UL<<16; // 1 - unsinged long
big_value = (ungigned long)1<<16;
