Thanks for reporting this, Bruce. No idea why clang complains about
that, it's definitely a constant expression. Anyway, committed this:

http://git.kernel.dk/cgit/fio/commit/?id=94815a5c8366a9290167e8539f29994c2d43d15c


which adds this sort of check to the configure _Static_assert() check.

It seems the relevant text is:

note: cast that performs the conversions of a reinterpret_cast is not
allowed in a constant expression

But it's bogus, it's nothing but static pointer math.

Is there something about our use of offsetof that means we can't depend
on the version from <stddef.h>?

No other reason than having a generic solution is superior to depending on whatever might be supplied with the given system.
