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");
        
}
