4.2 C bugs?

Does anyone know of a solution for the following problems?
1) The C compiler (4.2bsd) barfs on the following:
void foo() {...}
void blort() {...}
void (*f[]) () = {
foo, /* Operands of = have incompat. types*/
blort, /* Ditto. */
0
}
though it accepts:
int foo() {...}
int blort() {...}
int (*f[])() = {
foo,
blort,
0
};
This doesn't seem rational to me. If I declare foo and blort
in the first example to be integer, then it only gives me warnings.
2) When I try to pass a union as an argument to a function
(again, 4.2bsd), the C compiler usually works. Unfortunately,
it often doesn't work. It frequently dies with no error
message at all, or else a mysterious message to the effect
of "Op STASHG missing from op-code table". The unions in
question all fit into one word.
Are these really bugs, or am I missing something?
