offsetof macro — Computes member offset

Synopsis

size_t offsetof(type, member-name)

The offsetof macro returns the offset, in bytes, of a member of a struct as a constant integer. The type must be a plain, C-style struct (Plain Old Data, or POD), and the expression &(t.member-name ) must be an address constant, assuming t is an instance of type. In particular, this means the member-name must not be a bit-field, a static member, or a function member. (See Chapter 6 for more information about POD types.)
