gcc disagrees with you ;-)

$ cat test.c 
unsigned int y;

int main(void)
{
        if (y < (1ULL << 32))
                return 0;
        return 1;
}
$ gcc -O2 -W -Wall -o test test.c
test.c: In function ‘main’:
test.c:5: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type

$ cat test.c 
unsigned int y;

int main(void)
{
        if (((y >> 16) >> 16) > 0)
                return 0;
        return 1;
}
$ gcc -O2 -W -Wall -o test test.c

(anyone know how you turn off that fucking UTF8 crap that gcc insists
on putting into its warning/error messages?  Who thought that was a
good idea?)
