Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. long and long long are convertible, that's not the issue. They are distinct types though, so long* and long long* are NOT implicitly convertible. And uint64_t is not consistently the correct type. See: https://godbolt.org/z/bYb7a38dG https://godbolt.org/z/bYb7a38dG I'd prefer if the intrinsics use the same uint64_t but they don't.
