AFAIK, this is caused as the compiler cannot know the size of this.
So you *can* use this value inside the plugin (e.g. using val_to_str),
but you cannot use it to *initialize* the hf_register_info.
It shouldn't need to know the size, as you're just taking the address of
it. It should be able to know the size, however, as it's just a structure.
However, it may be that Windows' run-time linker (or whatever the code
that implements DLLs at run time is called) can't resolve a data
reference from a run-time-loaded DLL (a plugin) to a data item from a
DLL loaded as a library, so that the compiler can't generate code with
the appropriate relocation information for that item, and thus doesn't
treat TFS(&flags_set_truth) as a compile-time constant.
I'm not enough of an expert on Windows' run-time linker to say whether
that's the case or not.
