[avr-gcc-list] why the pointer get a error address?

[whiteman]

hi,all！
   I defined a array in program space and a pointer to this array.
eg:


uint8_t test_array[] PROGMEM = {
        1,2,3,4,5,6,7
};
const prog_char *character_pnt;

void main(void)
{
        charcter_pnt = test_array;
        ;
        ;
}

but when I simulated with avr_studio, I found the "character_pnt" get a error 
address,The "*character_pnt" isn't equal to 1.why?

        
Regards
