Umm. But sparse is meant to parse C code. Which very much includes *other* 
projects.

The kernel, for example, has its own offsetof. And yes, these days we use 
"__compiler_offsetof()", but we used to do

	#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)

and I seriously doubt that the kernel is the only one doing things like 
that.
