Hello,

I was trying to install safecode and poolalloc with LLVM 3.0 following the
instructions on http://sva.cs.illinois.edu/downloads.html

But it seems the code doesn't work with gcc 4.6. The issue is discussed here:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/GCC4.6

I got "ptrdiff_t does not name a type" errors. I fixed this by including
<cstddef> in two files: $llvmsrc/include/llvm/ADT/EquivalenceClass.h,
poolalloc/include/poolalloc/Support/MallocAllocator.h

The compiler also gives a lot of warnings that stop the compilation when
compiling poolalloc. I suspect it is also related to gcc 4.6 (the version I
used is gcc 4.6.1).

Regards,
Yi
