------------------------------+--------------------------------
 `src/common/util.h` defines a `STRUCT_OFFSET()` macro that effectively
 duplicates `offsetof()`, which has been available in `stddef.h` since C89.
 The non-GCC version of `STRUCT_OFFSET()` does pointer arithmetic on null
 pointers, which is undefined behavior.

 We should use the standard `offsetof()` macro instead, unless there's some
 reason we still need to support platforms that lack it.
