#757 BugReport3.c:20: error: FATAL Compiler Internal Error in fil

[Anonymous]

When I compile the attached file I get the following
errors:

C:\GCR250>sdcc BugReport3.c
BugReport3.c:20: error: FATAL Compiler Internal Error in
file 'gen.c' line number '8336' : need pointerCode

/ds400/hc08 2.4.1 (May 14 2004) (MINGW32)

When I modify the code so that the structures are
stored in the code memory (as I originally intended) the
file compiles correctly:

code struct Families ...
code struct Areas ...

FATAL Compiler Internal Error in file 'gen.c' line number '8336'

Hi,

The code can be reduced to this to produce the error:

#define nLanguage 4
#define nAreas 2

typedef struct Area {
char* Name[nLanguage];
};

struct Area Areas[nAreas]= {
{
{"A", "I", "I"}
}
};

And this is essentially the same as bug 868103.
Areas is in (x)data memory and the constant string is in code
memory.

Greets,
Maarten
