Sure, but it's stands true for all types, not only "unsigned long".
I'm on x86, and it is the same as unsigned int here.
BTW, I worked around the issue with a wrapper function:
// workaround.cpp
int foo(unsigned long bar); // extern
int foo(unsigned int bar) { return foo((unsigned long)bar); }
but it's not too handy.
