I'm dealing with some old legacy code and have a couple of
questions because I would never code it as it is.

What's actually happening internally when a local variable is
declared as such:

    char *ptr = "XXX";

The other question is about structure that declares a member of
it's own type within it's definition. For example:

    struct TSomeStruct
    {
        ....
        TSomeStruct *x;
        TSomeStruct *y;
    };

This compiles without warnings or errors but I would expect it
not to because it looks to me like it's an incomplete data type
when it hits x & y.
