How about a macro like this (which essentially comes from memoffset
crate [1])? It has the same use as core::mem::offset_of! (except the
same single-level limitation) and does not need wrapping structures with
with_offsets!.
macro_rules! offset_of {
($parent:ty, $field:tt) => {{
let uninit = std::mem::MaybeUninit::<$parent>::uninit();
let base = uninit.as_ptr();
// SAFETY:
//
// MaybeUninit<$parent> has the same size and alignment as $parent, so
// projection to $field is in bound.
//
// addr_of! does not create intermediate references to the uninitialized
// memory, thus no UB is involved.
let field = unsafe { std::ptr::addr_of!((*base).$field) };
// SAFETY:
//
// Both base and field point to the MaybeUninit<$parent> and are casted
// to u8 for calculating their distance.
unsafe { field.cast::<u8>().offset_from(base.cast::<u8>()) as usize }
}};
}
