That makes sense.
So it seems the "__builtin_offset" is just a macro. After it is
expanded, the () around "a.a1" will cause syntax error.
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
I think it is an issue for the same reason this is an issue:
struct B { int x,y,z; };
int main()
{
struct B b;
b.x = 3; // okay
b.(y) = 4; // parse error
return 0;
}
