Right, done, and failed. In this particular case, as Eli pointed out, some optimization is applied.

All my casting to what ever type, and with whatever mechanism, did not help.
Not even using temp variables of 64bit types with which ever signage.
That all got just optimized away...
Leaving me with a failing test without apparent reason.
