Description Andreas Ragnerstam CLA 2018-09-21 05:20:57 EDT 
Running the expression "&(*main)" when there is a function symbol named "main" will cause the following assert to trigger:

if (v->function) {
    assert(v->type_class == TYPE_CLASS_POINTER);
}

The expectation is that this would return some error but not assert.
Comment 1 Eugene Tarassov CLA 2018-09-25 18:48:38 EDT 
Such expression is supposed to be allowed in the debugger.
Fixed.
Thanks!
