>Description:
compiler exits with error on code which is legal at least in common sense.



when comiling something like:



int * const ptr1 = (int *) 0xf0f0f0f0;

int * const ptr2 = ptr1;



compiler exits with error "initializer element is not constant", although it sorta is. it's not "a constant", but it sure is "constant".



I'll go dig C docs, if it is indeed so that init element must be "a constant expression" then a change of error message would be good.
