       can be used with pre-C99 compilers.
       When computing the size of such an object, don't use 'sizeof (struct s)'
       as it overestimates the size.  Use 'offsetof (struct s, d)' instead.
       Don't use 'offsetof (struct s, d@<:@0@:>@)', as this doesn't work with
       MSVC and with C++ compilers.])
