I386-Linux / C++: Problem with member function pointers initialized in non-static structure variable inside a function

[Andrew Dixie <andrewd at sanderson dot co dot nz>]

Hey,

Apologies if the mailer makes a mess of this.

Using gcc from Debian potato as at 16 May.

g++ -v --save-temps -c test.cpp

The same code compiles fine on Solaris/Sparc (with Suns' compiler) and under
Windows with MSVC.

It works if you change the structure variable (line 525 in .ii) to static. 
In this context, it should really have been a static from the start, but I
can think of other cases where I might want to do a similar thing
non-static.

It also compiles if you strip out the classes and have straight function
pointers.

Machine is a Pentium 133 with 32meg ram if thats of any relevance.

Thanks,
Andrew Dixie
