26 /* An OFFSET_REF is used in two situations:
28 1. An expression of the form `A::m' where `A' is a class and `m' is
29 a non-static member. In this case, operand 0 will be a TYPE
30 (corresponding to `A') and operand 1 will be a FIELD_DECL,
31 BASELINK, or TEMPLATE_ID_EXPR (corresponding to `m').
33 The expression is a pointer-to-member if its address is taken,
34 but simply denotes a member of the object if its address isnot
35 taken. In the latter case, resolve_offset_ref is used to
36 convert it to a representation of the member referred to by the
37 OFFSET_REF.
39 This form is only used during the parsing phase; once semantic
40 analysis has taken place they are eliminated.
42 2. An expression of the form `x.*p'. In this case, operand 0 will
43 be an expression corresponding to `x' and operand 1 will be an
44 expression with pointer-to-member type. */
