The FieldOffset attribute is not allowed on static or const fields

The FieldOffset attribute cannot be used on fields marked with static or const.

The following sample generates CS0637:

// CS0637.cs
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
public class MainClass
{
   [FieldOffset(3)]   // CS0637
   public static int i;
   public static void Main ()
   {
   }
}
