No, it’s not necessarily wrong. If the value fits in the destination

What is wrong is making assumptions about the relative size of long
and size_t - AFAIK the standard makes no guarantees about that. Note that
it's only "wrong" if you care about portability - long experience suggests
that not caring about portability is a good way to get bitten on the arse.
