nullptr is a c++11 thing and is not supported by older compilers.
When I upgraded one of the bundled packages (nss?) I found it had some
test code that used nullptr that didn't compille on many of our
platforms. I had to disconnect the tests from the build.
The warnings are about things that can't be null. In the first case if
you have a reference to another variable, then the address of that
variable can't be null. In the second case, this could only be null if
you call a method on a null object.
One of the bits of code that I looked at for the first error looked
suspicious. It looks like it is passing *ptr as a reference parameter.
I'm not sure that's legal, and then the question is what happens if ptr
is null? Other calls to the same function were passing a regular
variable by reference. The appropriate fix in this case my be to create
a variant function that accepts a pointer and checks for NULL. Rather
than checking &ref == NULL.
