Thank you for links which gives good explanation. But I am not able to understand the part accessing a member through NULL pointer like ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER) How it is handled?
All you are doing is computing the address and not dereferencing it. If you dereference it, yes it will panic. eg..
*(((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)) will cause panic
OK I got it. Thank you all for your help. Vijay
