It was (as I called it) syntactical dereference A->b, followed by
retrieving of its address &(). C does not define this syntax as
optimizable (removal of dereference) and there is UB (but not real
life). There are different semantics that are defined, such as *&, but
&A->b is not one of them (certainly it could - I can write a proposal to
the C standard).
