[Bug c++/14804] New: [3.4 regression] initializing const data with reinterpret_cast-ed pointer-to-member function crashes

[dbaron at dbaron dot org]

This is somewhat similar to bug 12218 (which was fixed), but is a regression
between 20040105 and 20040311.

Initializing const data with a reinterpret_cast of a pointer-to-member virtual
function causes that const data to be emitted in the .rodata section (as it
should be) but causes initialization code to be generated to fill in the data.
(The reinterpret_cast is required for compilers other than gcc -- static_cast
works fine with gcc 3.4 and doesn't show the bug.)

This causes gcc to generate code that crashes on static initialization.

Testcase to be attached (simplified from nsEventListenerManager.cpp in Mozilla).
