That sounds like a terrible mess to me, please do not do that. Either we have a 64 bit counter, hen it should cound the full 64 bit range. Or use a plain uint32_t if 32 bit are sfficient. Don't play any tricks like misusing an "unused" part of one variable for other, independent purposes. I think we should provide a "uint64_t timebase" which represents a real 64 bit counter. And if you need a separate "uint32_t timelast" to store the previous timer value then please make this a separate variable.
