Is there a way (except overloading) to limit function input to accept 
__int64 but to get a compiler (preferable) or runtime (less preferable) 
error if it is called with int?

for example:

void myfunction(__int64 param)    // Accepts only __int64 as input and no 
smaller
{
}

myfunction((__int64)1);    // Call OK
myfunction((int)1);        // Call fails or better - compiler reports error
