--- Comment #7 from Elie Morisse <syniurge at gmail.com> ---
Still there:

struct A {
    uint d;
}

immutable A abc = { 42 };
immutable(uint)* xyz = &abc.d;

----
Error: cannot use non-constant CTFE pointer in an initializer '&A(42u).d'


I need to initialize a global variable with the address of a global struct
variable member and the workaround to get past that error was to do it in a
static ctor but that's not great since this is inside a template mixin meant to
be used in tons of places.

Although I'm only interested in the address the CTFE interpreter always
"resolves" abc into the literal.
