+Summary: Incorrect casts (patch included)
+
+There are some obviously incorrect casts that I noticed while browsing the
+source code.
+
+In mono/mini/ssa.c, in the function simulate_long_compare, the values are
+cast to "unsigned" for unsigned comparisons, which seems obviously
+incorrect, as it truncates the values to 32 bits on most architectures.
+
+In mono/metadata/process.c, there are several instances where pointers are
+aligned by casting to "unsigned", which is unsafe on 64-bit architectures.
+
+Suggested fix: http://will.iki.fi/patches/mono-casts.diff
+(The above is against mono-1.1.1)
