The former guarantees you a 64-bit constant, the latter does not: it depends on the size of 'long' on the host. (Usually using "UL" suffixes in QEMU is a bug, because either 32 bits was fine, in which case "U" or no suffix would have done, or you really needed 64 bits, in which case you need "ULL". There are some exceptions where the code really is working with "long" values.) thanks -- PMM
