#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int* const savepos = sizeof(*savepos) ? 0 : 0;
// code for the next line is left out!
printf("size of thingy is %d\n", sizeof(*savepos));
}
Any line of code containing sizeof(*savepos) gets stripped. If you compile
and run this, nothing is printed.

Summary: sizeof(*var) in expression drops entire line of code out
of compile
