Hi
I need to initialize a global variable with a pointer to another global
variable but dmd compler raises an error:
uint a = 5;
uint* p = &a; // error: non-constant expression & a
const uint* cp = &a; // error: non-constant expression & a
All C compilers support this assignation ¿whi dlang cannot?
I think this is a great limitation for writing huge dependent of
initial-state defined program as a virtual machine (in this case).

Just try it with ldc, appears to work. I'm also compiling gdc for test
with it.
Thanks,
Another option is to initialize in a 'static this()' block:
uint a = 5;
uint* p;
const uint* cp;
static this()
{
p = &a;
cp = &a;
}
