I looked at these, and the warnings are correct, so just disabling them is a bit troubling. The thing is, the code in both cases is attempting to intentionally provoke a crash. But because the code is invoking undefined behavior, executing it might actually do anything, or nothing at all. So while suppressing the warning might permit compilation, it’s not at all obvious that the compilation will produce anything like the desired code. And that’s also true for platforms that aren’t warning…
