Can these macros be used instead?  It seems they still need the name of
the last structure element.  I can't recall why just sizeof(type) wasn't
enough.

#define STRUCT_OFFSET(type, member)  ((uint8_t *)&(((type *)NULL)->member) - \
                                     (uint8_t *)((type *)NULL))

#define STRUCT_END(type, member)     (STRUCT_OFFSET(type, member) + \
                                     sizeof(((type *)NULL)->member))


Thanks,
