--- Comment #4 from Aaron Ballman <aaron at aaronballman.com> ---
This is WG14 DR 496. The committee discussion on the topic at the Markham 2017
meeting was that "structure member" should have said "subobject" instead, and
this is not actually intended to be an extension. Someone has volunteered to
draft new words to address this in C2x.

> 2. The standard says "member-designator" not "member".  It fails to define "member-designator".

The standard says:

"...which expands to an integer constant expression that has type size_t, the
value of which is the offset in bytes, to the structure member (designated by
member-designator), from the beginning of its structure (designated by type)."

member-designator is defined as the second operand to the ofsetof macro.

> 3. And anyway, stuff[99] is a member, just like x.y.z would be. :)

No, it is not, it is a subobject.
