It looks as though Visual Studio 2008 does the 'right' thing, too, at 
least in some circumstances.  Here's some assembler output (MSVC Express 
Edition, 32-bit Windows XP / Macbook Pro).

; 3    : unsigned long long mul(unsigned long x, unsigned long y) {

        push    ebp
        mov     ebp, esp

; 4    :     return (unsigned long long)x * y;

        mov     eax, DWORD PTR _x$[ebp]
        mov     ecx, DWORD PTR _y$[ebp]
        mul     ecx

; 5    : }

        pop     ebp
        ret     0
