I can give you a very concrete example:


#include <iostream>
struct A {
	int a;
	int b;
};
int main() {
	int A::*m = 0;
	int A::*n = &A::a; 
	std::cout << " m = " << *(int*)(&m) << ", n = " << *(int*)(&n) << std::endl;
}

Compiles this program with gcc and the result is:
 m = -1, n = 0

Because the pointer is relative, the 0x000000 binary value points to the first 
member in the class.  So the sementic value 0 or NULL need to be something 
else (hence -1)


Some architecture may have also a relative addressing mechanism for normal 
pointer. (none that we support, ok)
