Consider the case when a class contains an aggregate member:

struct foo
{
   struct bar
   {
      int one[256];
      int two[256];
   };

   bar my_bar;
};

foo *fooptr;

The members "one" and "two" are clearly offsetable memory operands, yet gcc
does not accept them as operands to asm statements.

asm( "..." : : "o" (fooptr->my_bar.two) ) // ERROR "memory operand not directly
addressable".

The expected behaviour is to generate code like this:

mov fooptr, %eax
mov 256(%eax), ...   // fooptr->my_bar.two
