Invalid argument for the `offset_of!` macro.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0795
#![feature(offset_of_enum)]
let x = std::mem::offset_of!(Option<u8>, Some);
```
The `offset_of!` macro gives the offset of a field within a type. It can
navigate through enum variants, but the final component of its second argument
must be a field and not a variant.
The offset of the contained `u8` in the `Option<u8>` can be found by specifying
the field name `0`:
```
#![feature(offset_of_enum)]
let x: usize = std::mem::offset_of!(Option<u8>, Some.0);
```
The discriminant of an enumeration may be read with `core::mem::discriminant`,
but this is not always a value physically present within the enum.
