The proposed code is incorrect - an unsigned long long value is always less than or equal to std::numeric_limits<unsigned long long>::max(), so comparing these makes is meaningless. The purpose of this check is to ensure that casting to a signed long long won't change the value.

I think that you need something like:

m_size = (actualSize <= static_cast<unsigned long long>(std::numeric_limits<long long>::max())) ? static_cast<long long>(actualSize) : 0;

Or there may be some other idiom that I'm not aware of. Possibly something in CheckedArithmetic.h?
