/* The offsetof() macro calculates the offset of a structure member
   in its structure.  Unfortunately this cannot be written down
   portably, hence it is provided by a Standard C header file.
   For pre-Standard C compilers, here is a version that usually works
   (but watch out!): */

   getmember() and set by setmember() (except if their READONLY flag

   pointer is NULL. */
