I looked at the first, and I couldn't tell why gcc (4.3.4) thinks it is wrong: safecode/runtime/BitmapPoolAllocator/PoolAllocatorBitMask.cpp:185: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules Line 185 is: PS->addToList((PoolSlab**)&Pool->Ptr2); and Ptr2 is a field of type void*.

...ic Pool Allocation on 64 bit architectures, so while it may work, we can't say for certain that it will. This particular error is caused by the fact that the run-time does not know which allocator is best for allocating page-aligned sections of memory. If you modify getPages() in runtime/BitmapPoolAllocator/PageManager.cpp to use mmap(), posix_memalign(), or valloc(), then it will fix this error and allow you to continue experimenting with Poolalloc/SAFECode in 64-bit mode. Eventually, we should set up something in the configure script to find a usable default for this function. This would be...

I kept -Werror in Makefile.common.in. It's better if we fix these warnings; -Werror provides incentive
