4.2 C bugs?

It's true.  f /* array of pointers */ cannot be initialized to functions.
In the other cases originally cited, integers could be initialized to
pointers, but the conversion is implementation-dependent.

If you want to initialize pointers to pointers, try:

	void foo() {...}
	void blort() {...}
	void (*f[]) () = {
		&foo,
		&blort,
		0
	}
