Dumb question: why marking these explicitly as ULL instead of letting
the compiler do its usual promotion?

(By all means, remove the explicit cast -- the function call should do
this by itself.)

0xffffffff is unsigned int and will be promoted to
0x00000000ffffffffULL by the function call. 0xffffffffffffffff is UL
on 64-bit platforms and ULL on 32-bit platforms and will be promoted
to 0xffffffffffffffffULL by the function call.
