What do you find troubling about it? It's simply a way to set all bits in an unsigned variable.

Yes, you’re absolutely right.

But the “problem” is that in Danish, my native language, zero is spelled and pronounced “nul”. So when I saw “0ULL”, I immediately jumped up the chair, forgetting my brain somewhere, and thought: “Wow, there’s somebody who meant to write NULL.” I thought the 0ULL was a misspelling of NULL. (~NULL is not such a fortunate construct.)

I am deeply ashamed of myself for reporting this bogus error and I plan to be much more cautious in the future.

Cheers,
Mikael
