offsetof —
#include <stddef.h>
size_t
offsetof(type,
member);
offsetof() macro expands to an integer constant
expression of type size_t and yields the offset, in
bytes, of the field member from the start of the
structure type.
A compiler error will result if member is not aligned to a byte boundary (i.e. it is a bit-field).
struct example {
double x;
int y;
char z;
};
size_t x, y, z;
x = offsetof(struct example, x);
y = offsetof(struct example, y);
z = offsetof(struct example, z);
(void)printf("%zu %zu %zu\n", x, y, z);
offsetof() macro conforms to ANSI
X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”).
