The first place entry is particularly ridiculous; is there any modern language that would make it so easy to commit such an awful "mistake"?

D allows that. This is why I recommend putting `static assert(foo.sizeof == expectation);` in code that interfaces with external things, like C code, or D .di stuff.

#include <math.h> /* sqrt */

that line is an interesting one too: the trick is depending on namespace pollution by the include. In D, you might write `import core.stdc.math : sqrt;` and make that misleading comment part of the code.... though then you could perhaps exploit that module bug (314?).
