# ZeroStructOffset

## Description

Toggle display of the first field of a structure in an offset expression. This command forces IDA to display a full structure member name even if the offset of the member is equal to zero.

If used twice, the command cancels itself.

Example: Suppose we have the following structure:

```
    xxx     struc
    a       db ?
    b       db ?
    c       db ?
    xxx     ends

    dloc    xxx ?
```

Normally IDA displays references to it like this:

```
    mov     eax, offset dloc
    mov     eax, offset dloc.b
```

If you force IDA, then it displays member 'a':

```
    mov     eax, offset dloc.a
    mov     eax, offset dloc.b
```
