Hi Hui Li,

thanks for the follow-up and sorry for the slow response.

Overall I am happy with this approach.
I have made a few minor comments inline for your consideration.

nit: 0xffffffff80000000ULL is used twice. Perhaps we could make it a #define.
And perhaps 0x8000000000000000ULL too, while we are here.

nit: I would prefer if the code was less than 80 columns wide.
