I modified https://github.com/p4lang/p4c/blob/main/testdata/p4_16_samples/arith5-bmv2.p4:

    action shift()
    { h.h.c = (int<64>)(h.h.a >> "aaaa"); sm.egress_spec = 0; }

Note that this code does not make any sense and should be rejected by the type checker. Howerver, it is not rejected:

$ ./build/p4c/p4test p4c/testdata/p4_16_samples/arith5-bmv2.p4
# [nothing, exitcode = 0]

If the shift is replaced with addition, the check works:

p4c/testdata/p4_16_samples/arith5-bmv2.p4(30): [--Werror=type-error] error: +: cannot be applied to expression '"aaaa"' with type 'string'
    { h.h.c = (int<64>)(h.h.a + "aaaa"); sm.egress_spec = 0; }
                                     ^
