Thank you for links which gives good explanation.
But I am not able to understand the part accessing a member through
NULL pointer like ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
How it is handled?

All you are doing is computing the address and not dereferencing it.
If you dereference it, yes it will panic. eg..

*(((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)) will cause panic

OK I got it.
Thank you all for your help.

Vijay
