Yes, it means &(a->b->c), that is, the address of the c.
I dunno if this will help, but...
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
struct B {
int c;
};
struct A {
struct B *b;
};
main() {
struct A *a = malloc(sizeof(struct A));
struct B *b = a->b = malloc(sizeof(struct B));
int *ptr_to_int = &a->b->c;
b->c = 1234;
if (*ptr_to_int == 1234)
printf("&a->b->c has followed the links\n");
}
