offset.nim
template offset(Typ, member): int {.immediate.} =
var dummy: Typ
cast[int](dummy.member.addr) -% cast[int](dummy.addr)
type Foo = object
x: int
y: int
echo offset(Foo, y)

a more correct and updated way of doing it would be this:

template offset(Typ, field: untyped): ByteAddress =
  var dummy: Typ
  cast[ByteAddress](dummy.field.addr) -% cast[ByteAddress](dummy.addr)

type Foo = object
  x: int
  y: int

echo offset(Foo, y)

(i changed the argument name because i liked it more, the other one are fine too)
