Very little since MAXINT isn't defined. :-) Perhaps if you were to include
limits.h and use INT_MAX instead. If you want to add a bit of interest to
the problem you could ask the same question about:

#include <stddef.h>
#include <limits.h>

    size_t l;
    short i = SHRT_MAX;

    l = sizeof(++i);
