This will crash the compiler (v. 0.35).
Is this a known bug? Isn't this code correct?

about the function pointer or the type of function (ie static function)?

It is definitely a bug, and it is even worse: the compiler crashes
every time a function pointer is found where a constant expression
is expected - which includes initializers for global and static
variables.
