structured assembler (BASIC) [Really: C builtin functions?]

It is not a function at all. It is a language construct that
syntactically is an operator but sematically is not a function.  In
the form "sizeof expr" C does not evaluate what appears to be an
argument. And in the form "sizeof(type-name)" what appears to be an
argument does not have a value.
