GCC implements for both C and C++ a syntactic extension to implement
the offsetof macro.
primary:
"__builtin_offsetof" "(" typename "," offsetof_member_designator ")"
offsetof_member_designator:
identifier
| offsetof_member_designator "." identifier
| offsetof_member_designator "[" expr "]"
This extension is sufficient such that
#define offsetof(type, member) __builtin_offsetof (type, member)
is a suitable definition of the offsetof macro. In C++, type
may be dependent. In either case, member may consist of a single
identifier, or a sequence of member accesses and array references.
