Well, it's not really truncated it just overflows long long.

Looking at the following code, the warning is only produced for the c2
constant.

#define ULL(x) (x##ULL)
#define LL(x) (x##LL)

void f() {
unsigned long long c1 = ULL(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF);
unsigned long long c2 = LL(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF);
unsigned long long c3 = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF;
unsigned long long c4 = ULL(0x1111111111111111);
unsigned long long c5 = LL(0x1111111111111111);
unsigned long long c6 = 0x1111111111111111;
}
