The following little code sample does no longer compile with 4.3 or higher:

struct a {};
void b() {
    int a::*m;
    a *c;
    int p = reinterpret_cast<char*>(&(c->*m)) - reinterpret_cast<char*>(c);
}

Instead the compiler emits the error message:

bad.cc: In function ‘void b()’:
bad.cc:5: error: aggregate value used where an integer was expected

Though it is clear that this code sample is not perfectly valid according to
the C++ standard since "reinterpret_cast<char*>(&(c->*m))" and
"reinterpret_cast<char*>(c)" are not part of the same array I would not expect
this kind of behavior since the claim of the compiler that there is something
wrong with types is completely bogus.

Rewriting the code like the following makes the compiler accepting it again:

struct a {};
void b() {
    int a::*m;
    a *c;
    char* d = reinterpret_cast<char*>(&(c->*m));
    char* e = reinterpret_cast<char*>(c);
    int p = d - e;
}
