Huh. I prefer sizeof without parens, like I prefer return without parens.
It actually annoys me when I see someone write
return(0);
Because it's not a function (our language is too low-level to use
continuation-passing style), it's magic syntax.
Sizeof likewise. I tend to use "p = malloc(sizeof *p)" a lot.
It just reads more nicely, to my eyes, than "p = malloc(sizeof(*p))".
If I wanted my code to be cluttered with parens, I'd write it in
Lots of Irritating Silly Parenthese.
Certainly, tha paren-less style is all over the kernel. It's heavily
used in arch/x86/boot, for example.
I guess it's what you're used to.
