Please note that this issue is related to offsetof for structures. Offsetof for classes have had many bugs but have been fixed.

The thing here is that offsetof for a structure can only be called from a static function and not from anywhere, so, porting some C code to D modules is impossible or full of workarounds.

I'm posting a few workarounds to get offsetof to work on structures:

1) Create a static function to return the offset, how you do it will depend on your code. This seems to work fine.

2) Use this template i did, it compiles ok but needs more testing, i call it
from a static enviroment and works perfect:
(This try to simulate the Win32 macro FIELD_OFFSET)

template FIELD_OFFSET(alias T)
{
        const uint FIELD_OFFSET = T.offsetof;
}

Example:

module x;

const uint DIMOFS_X = FIELD_OFFSET!(DIMOUSESTATE.lX);
const uint DIMOFS_BUTTON1 = FIELD_OFFSET!(DIMOUSESTATE.rgbButtons) + 1;

struct DIMOUSESTATE
{
        long lX;
        long lY;
        long lZ;
        byte rgbButtons[4];
}
