You can also use f instead of the type as a workaround:

struct Foo(T) {
        int a;
}

void main() {
        Foo!(int)* f;
        asm {
                mov EBX, f;
                mov EAX, f.a.offsetof[EBX];
        }
}

It is actually easier to type the name of the variable.

It seems that the ASM parser is really simple, it doesn't support all the
complex grammar that D has to offer. You can take a look at the grammar [1] and
see that it only accepts simple dotIdentifiers (templates not included).

I suggest we close this as WONTFIX.
