Yes, field->offset is calculated when table is opened and is never
changed.
Here is how the val_int_offset() function is declared:
inline longlong val_int_offset(uint row_offset)
{
ptr+=row_offset;
longlong tmp=val_int();
ptr-=row_offset;
return tmp;
}
You can use the same hack to address a field that is stored anywhere.

Why use join_tab->read_record?
This is a method for scaning rows (with or without an internal cache)
and shouldn't be used for accessing new/old values of rows.
(Especially as there is no guaranteed that this method is always used to
read rows)
The record data is normally in table->record_buffer[]. The length of this
buffer is table->reclength.
Nihal> Do you have any further suggestions?
To be able to help you we would need more information at which place
in the code you need access to the data for an old/new record.
