No, values are not truncated like that.  No implicit conversions shorten
the value.  That worst thing you can get is conversion from signed to
unsigned or vice versa, but you will get a warning about it with -Wall.

Just try compiling this for 32-bit:

#include <stdio.h>
unsigned long long size = 0x100000000ULL;
int main()
{
        if (! size)
                printf("test1: size is 0\n");
        else
                printf("test1: size is not 0\n");
        if (size == 0)
                printf("test2: size is 0\n");
        else
                printf("test2: size is not 0\n");
}
