Static analyzer reported:
1. if (res > 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFULL)
Expression 'res > 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFULL' is always false , which may be caused by a logical error: 
'res' has a type 'unsigned long long' with minimum value '0' and a maximum value '18446744073709551615'

2. if (res > INT64_MAX || res < INT64_MIN)
Expression 'res > INT64_MAX' is always false , which may be caused by a logical error: 'res' has a type 'long long' 
with minimum value '-9223372036854775808' and a maximum value '9223372036854775807'
Expression 'res < INT64_MIN' is always false , which may be caused by a logical error: 'res' has a type 'long long' 
with minimum value '-9223372036854775808' and a maximum value '9223372036854775807'

Corrections explained:
- Removed redundant check `res > 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFULL` in `get_u64`,
  as `res` cannot exceed this value due to its type.
- Removed redundant checks `res > INT64_MAX` and `res < INT64_MIN` in `get_s64`,
  as `res` cannot exceed the range of `long long`.
