The beginning of the type in which the field is contained, which I think means, in your parlance: > The direct context, or the outermost containing type? the "direct context". In other words, if C has a field of type B at offset 32, and B has an field "f" with offset 16, then the offset of B::f relative to C is 48. (That's the only thing that makes any sense; otherwise, we'd have to make a copy of B every time it appeared as field in some other type.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22488
