--- Comment #4 from Sriram Swaminarayan <sriram at pobox dot com> --- OK, I will admit that my knowledge here is pretty limited so if someone could point out what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it. On reading the other thread [PR45290] it appears it deals with pointers being initialized with other pointers, be they procedure or data. This compile error has to do with not being able to deal with a specific return type for a function (i.e. those functions that return pointers). The return type of a function should have no bearing on whether or not the initialization should succeed.
