64位变量存储为32位

Question

I have some issue when compiling in ARM cross compiler with a variable of type unsigned long long

The variable represents partition size (~256GBytes). I expect it to be stored as 64-bit, but on printing it using %lld , or even trying to print it as Mega bytes (value/(1024*1024*1024)) , I always see the only 32-bit of the real value.

Does anyone know why the compiler store it as 32-bits?

Edit:

My mistake, the value is set in C using the following calculation:

partition_size = st.f_bsize*st.f_frsize;
struct statvfs { unsigned long int f_bsize; unsigned long int f_frsize; ...}

The issue is that f_bsize and f_frsize are only 32 bits, and the compiler does not automatically cast them to 64bits! Casting solved this issue for me.

My mistake........ the value is set in C using the following calcualtion:

struct statvfs { unsigned long int f_bsize; unsigned long int f_frsize;...}

The below code prints the whole 64 bits.Try printing it using %llu

  main()
    {
    unsigned long long num = 4611111275421987987;
    printf("%llu\n",num);
    }
