In the compiler or the example? A bug. In the compiler (I verified that the SystemV.2 compiler issues the "must be addressable" error message as well. I am not able, at the moment, to run the SystemV.2.2 compiler.) Just another corner in the language, or obviously a legal construct? Legal construct (structure values have a hard time being treated properly in old C compilers, for sure). And how much would you enjoy porting legal ANSI C to your crufty old compiler? Not at all.
