[Bug c++/16868] New: [3.4 regression] offsetof fails with array member

[ppluzhnikov at charter dot net]

The test case below fails with

off.cc: In function `int main()':
off.cc:11: error: an array reference cannot appear in a constant-expression

This is possibly a variant of bug 16681 "offsetof fails with constant member"

This used to work in g++-2.95.x and g++-3.3.x
In C-mode the test case compiles fine with all versions tested.

--- cut ---
#include <stddef.h>

typedef struct Foo {
    int x[2];
} FOO;


int main()
{
    size_t a = offsetof(FOO, x);    // ok
    size_t b = offsetof(FOO, x[1]); // fails with gcc-3.4.0
    return 0;
}

I fixed this already for 3.4.1 and mainline. Thanks for your report anyway.
