Taking address of array

[Graham Bardsley]

I've got some macros which calculate the address of an offset of a structure
(stolen from the X11R4 src), and some of the structures I'm using them have
character arrays:

struct small_struct
{
	int x;
	char y[100];
};

What I want to know is, if the macro calculates:

((int) (((char *) (&(((struct small_struct*) 0)->y))) - ((char *) 0)))

Is the value of this a valid construct which will calculate the offset of y on 
most traditional C compilers, since on the standard Sun C compiler it throws 
out the warning: 

	& before array or function: ignored

I think I'm just worried that a lot of compilers might throw it out as being 
bad C.  The macros are part of a portability layer so the idea is to have 
some macros which will work nomatter what compiler is being run. If the 
compiler doesn't support the offset macro directly (like ANSI) then 
something like the above will be substituted.
