Use /2 and 2* instead of >>1 and <<1 which are tricky with signed types
Today's compilers generate shift instructions to perform division and multiplications by powers of 2 [1]. `(x >> 1)` looks straightforward enough, but if x is signed the code will fail when x < 0. The compiler knows better: use `x / 2`. That's why we have code like this: (long)((long_u)Rows >> 1)) instead of the cleaner version that generates the same or better machine code: Rows / 2 [1] http://goo.gl/J4WpG7
