Last night I came across a problem I simply do not understand. Of
course it must be my mistake, compilers always are correct ;-)  I
tried to declare a struct with space for a pointer to a function
and to later evaluate that very pointer. Nothing unusual, yeah?
Well, MWC 3.0.6 gave me an 'in cc1: Internal compiler error: no match,
op=61' ... an left. Here's the code, stripped down to the very problem:

/* test_struc.c */

#include "test.h"

activate()
{
   float f1;
   f1 = (*my_mind.fp)();
}

/* end of test_struc.c */
/* test.h */

typedef struct {

   int a,b,c;
   float f;
   float (*fp)();

 } MIND;

MIND my_mind;

/* end of test.h */

I guess you can tell me why this doesn't work? You remember the Pet Shop
Boys (or was it Frank Sinatra?): WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?
Cheers,
-Klaus.
