The following code produces the indicated error when compiling on the 3b1.
I believe the expression in question is legal C; and it compiles OK on
a Sun.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
struct dstr {double x;};
struct istr {int i;};
main()
{ 
  struct dstr ds,*dsP;
  struct istr is,*isP;
  dsP = &ds;
  isP = &is;
  ds.x--;	/* OK */
  isP->i--;	/* OK */
  dsP->x--; /* "tst.c", line 11: compiler error: allocation fails, op STAR */
}
