FP truncLongCastAssignment?

[versat]

I stumbled over this when checking a Firmware (MSP430 16bit controller).
The description sounds like there is a serious error, because we really do not want to lose information.
Then i reduced it to the following code and i would say it is a FP. Or at least the description maybe could sound a bit more conservative? What would you say? Is it worth a ticket?

>type truncLongCastAssignment.c
typedef unsigned long  uint32_t;

static uint32_t const value = 1U * 1U;

[truncLongCastAssignment.c:3]: (style) int result is assigned to long variable. If the variable is long to avoid loss of information, then there is loss of information. To avoid loss of information you must cast a calculation operand to long, for example 'l = a * b;' => 'l = (long)a * b;'.

since we can clearly see there is not loss of precision, that is a false positive. Please report a ticket.

Thank you Daniel. I created the ticket: https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8274
