Example
Type MyType
x As Single
y As Single
Union
b As Byte
i As Integer
End Union
End Type
Print "OffsetOf x = "; OffsetOf(MyType, x)
Print "OffsetOf y = "; OffsetOf(MyType, y)
Print "OffsetOf b = "; OffsetOf(MyType, b)
Print "OffsetOf i = "; OffsetOf(MyType, i)
x As Single
y As Single
Union
b As Byte
i As Integer
End Union
End Type
Print "OffsetOf x = "; OffsetOf(MyType, x)
Print "OffsetOf y = "; OffsetOf(MyType, y)
Print "OffsetOf b = "; OffsetOf(MyType, b)
Print "OffsetOf i = "; OffsetOf(MyType, i)
Output
OffsetOf x = 0 OffsetOf y = 4 OffsetOf b = 8 OffsetOf i = 8
