  Huh?  Are you saying that in:

typedef struct { const char x } AA;

AA *py1, py2;
AA y1 = { z };

  py1 = malloc (sizeof *py2);
  py2 = &y1;

it is valid to say

  *(char *)(&py1->x) = '?';

but not valid to say

  *(char *)(&py2->x) = '?';

?  I think I may have reached the point at which I am starting to
boggle.....


    cheers,
