Andrew,
Using this test program and changing the type of x to int, long, long long signed and
unsigned the comparison always worked on x86, x86_64, and ia64. It looks to me like
the comparsion will always do what we expect. Unless you see some other problem.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned long long x;
x = 0x00000000ffffffff;
printf(sizeof(x) == 8 ?
"x = %lld, sizeof(x) = %d\n" :
"x = %ld, sizeof(x) = %d\n", x, sizeof(x));
if (x == 0xffffffff)
printf("equal\n");
else
printf("not equal\n");
}
