 3410                Illegal indirection
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Description
   This error occurs when an attempt is made to dereference a variable
   whose data type is not pointer. A typical example is when the obsolete
   * comment indicator is used in front of a non-pointer variable:

   vardef
      uint nNum
   enddef
   *nNum := 1 // * is used for commenting, but the compiler takes it as
              // the derefenciation operator

 Solution
   Only apply the * dereferenciation operator to pointers. Use the //
   comment indicator instead of *. Turn on the -Zc compatibility switch
   to use the * character as a comment indicator on line beginnings
   (tradeoff is a limited use of the dereferenciation operator).
