Bad test. You just repeated what was already said. But replacing 0 with 9223372036854775808ull does make your point.

So the compiler is wrong about the expected format. wow!

And thankfully, it still provides the expected format.

If it is a bug, it's a bug in perl

It's a bug in gcc. The format expects a unsigned long long, but it claims it expects an unsigned.
