This small piece of code doesn't work with gcc 4.0.0, but with 3.4/3.3:
-----------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
FILE* out = stdout;
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
// out = stdout; // this is ok
return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------
Here the output:
C:\tmp>gcc main.c
main.c:4: error: initializer element is not constant
C:\tmp>g++ main.c
main.c:9: internal compiler error: output_operand: invalid expression as operand
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
C:\tmp>gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
