So…  I have no idea what happens here but this always fails with 
“assertion failed (res == EiB): (1 == 1152921504606846976)”.  But when I 
replace the EiB by 1, it suddenly fails with “assertion failed (res == 
1): (1152921504606846976 == 1)” instead.  Replacing the EiB by anything 
but 1 also tells me that res is 1.

Now, here’s the kicker.  I put an `fprintf(stderr, "res == %" PRIu64 
"\n", res);` before this g_assert_cmpuint() (changed to (res, ==, 1))…  
And it passes.

Sometimes I really want to change professions.

(Of note is that changing the g_assert() below into a g_assert_true() 
also has g_assert_cmpuint(res, ==, 1) pass.)

Oh, it also isn’t correct, I think it needs to be str + 8.  As a bonus, 
the compiler doesn’t complain then (for some reason…?  it still seems 
out of bounds).

(Otherwise, to get around the complaint, I used 
g_assert_cmphex((uintptr_t)endptr, ==, (uintptr_t)str + 8).  Which is 
another thing, patch 1 explained to me that we shouldn’t use g_assert() :))
