Thank you in advance
not a bug.
b.f[10] is indexing the pointer to the array, not the array
itself.
b.f[0][10] is indexing the array (with the 10), but I would argue
it is better to write *(b.f)[10] so as to be clear that f is not
an array.
What is the reason you are using a pointer to a struct containing
a pointer to a static array? It's often not necessary to work
like that.
