How to store a 64 bit integer in two 32 bit integers and convert back again

Question

I\'m pretty sure its just a matter of some bitwise operations, I\'m just not entirely sure of exactly what I should be doing, and all searches return back \"64 bit vs 32 bit

Answer 1

pack:

u32 x, y;
u64 v = ((u64)x) << 32 | y;

unpack:

x = (u32)((v & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000LL) >> 32);
y = (u32)(v & 0xFFFFFFFFLL);
