This last bit is nonsense: the syntax is:

    unary-expression:
        postfix-expression
        ++ unary-expression
        -- unary-expression
        unary-operator cast-expression
        sizeof unary-expression
        sizeof ( type-name )

In other words, the argument to sizeof is either "unary-expression" or
"( type-name )".
