--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
C++98 version that compiles fine with versions before 5.1.0

struct test { const int *addr; };

const test* setup()
{
    static const test atest =
    {
        ({ static const int inner = 123; &inner; })
    };

    return &atest;
}

int main(){}
