------- Comment #2 from gnu at behdad dot org 2008-12-01 23:38 ------- It's not a useful use case, agreed, but I don't see how that affects the computability of a value at "load time", whatever that means. It did trick me: I was converting a vtable to use label values, and before converting the function pointer type of the array to int, I tried a compile and got the error. I didn't expect the error to go away if I replace the function pointer type with an int. To my surprise, it did.
What I'm saying is that the statement in the error message is false. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38354
