#1457 Array of pointers in struct code generation error

[Philipp Klaus Krause]

This bug might be the same as #1812570.

A small sample is attached.

On gcc f() return 1.
On sdcc

Sorry, I accidently hit the submit button.

On sdcc there's an additional indirection. Instead of returning the expected value sdcc treats the expected value and whatever byte might be next as a pointer and the value it points to.

Here's the generated asm (using sdcc -mz80 --fverbose-asm test.c):

; genPointerGet
ld hl,#_x
ld c,(hl)
inc hl
ld b,(hl)
; genPointerGet
ld l,c
ld h,b #_y NOW IN HL
ld c,(hl) 1 NOW IN C
inc hl
ld b,(hl)
; genPointerGet
ld a,(bc)

_f_end::
_y:
.db #0x01
_x:
.dw _y
.area _CODE
.area _CABS

While I use the Z80 port this probably affects all ports.

I can confirm this bug is present for mcs51 too.
