Global constants don't work

[fjolnir]

As far as I can tell, cdef only lets you define functions or types. Meaning that code like the following does not work(Does work fine in LuaJIT however)

ffi.cdef[[
// http://clang.llvm.org/docs/Block-ABI-Apple.txt
struct __block_descriptor_1 {
    unsigned long int reserved; // NULL
    unsigned long int size; // sizeof(struct __block_literal_1)
};

struct __block_literal_1 {
    struct __block_literal_1 *isa;
    int flags;
    int reserved;
    void *invoke;
    struct __block_descriptor_1 *descriptor;
};

const struct __block_literal_1 *_NSConcreteGlobalBlock; // <-- problem line
]]

Fails with: unexpected type in root on line 15

Thanks for the report. I've added it to the todo list and will hopefully look at it some time this week.
