I was having a problem with a larger program when I ran into a problem. The following code snippet should work according to what I remember of C. What's wrong with it?

------------
char * color;
char * r="red";
color = r;

You cannot do that in file scope.

Inside a function it works:

void f( void )
{
    char * color;
    char * r = "red";

    color = r;
}
