Yo, dude, that would take a seriously long program to even initialize
that pointer :-)
But seriously, while I do think that we should strive to compile even
programs that are "weird" or "unusual" in their requirements on the
compiler, I think that this one goes a little overboard. I would,
however, be interested to hear how many levels of pointers gcc
actually *can* compile. I would imagine it's at least a few
hundred, maybe thousand. Maybe you could try to figure out?
