[PATCH RESEND] wireless: Use offsetof instead of custom macro.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use offsetof to calculate offset of a field to take advantage of
compiler built-in version when possible, and avoid UBSAN warning when
compiling with Clang:
