In the meantime I can of course answer this myself...
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
typedef unsigned int __u32;
typedef unsigned long __u64;
void i_eat_32_for_breakfast(__u32 food) {
printf("%u\n", food);
}
int main(void) {
__u64 eat_this = 4294968320;
i_eat_32_for_breakfast(eat_this);
return 0;
}
-$ ./breakfast
