Your current code as posted will print some random value because you haven't set the variable base to a start value.
Specifically it will be what junk is the memory address it gets assigned, basic rules of C.

Could you please try this code
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void){
   int *base = 0;
   int offset = 1;
   volatile int *result;
   result = base + offset;
   printf("Volatile result pointer = %p\n", result);
   if ((int)result != sizeof(int)) printf("compiler is broken\n");
}

It should return 2, 4 or 8 for the result depending on the size of int on your compiler
As you are doing pointer addition the offset is defined as the sizeof(int) by C standards.

If you see the message "compiler is broken" there are 10 different gcc compilers for the Pi use another one or change version of your current.
GCC being a public domain support compiler does get bugs in versions from time to time.

As a last comment the above possible multiple answers is specifically why you shouldn't use int for hardware registers.
The registers on the Pi have to be accessed as 32bit, so the only safe way to do it is uint32_t

The following code will give an answer of 4 on EVERY C COMPILER, it is safe and portable and even works on the Pi3 64bit compilers
My advice is DO IT THIS WAY.
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void){
   uint32_t *base = 0;
   uint32_t offset = 1;
   volatile uint32_t *result;
   result = base + offset;
   printf("Volatile result pointer = %p\n", result);
}

In vino veritas
