Comment (by nbruin):

 OK, my C skills are insufficient for this:
 {{{
 #include<stdio.h>

 typedef struct{
   int a; int b; int c; int d; int e;
 } composite;

 typedef composite *pointer;

 void main() {
   pointer v;
   printf("sizeof(composite)=%d\n",sizeof(composite));
   printf("sizeof(t)=%d\n",sizeof(t));
   printf("sizeof(*v)=%d\n",sizeof(*v));
 };
 }}}
 produces the desired output:
 {{{
 sizeof(composite)=20
 sizeof(pointer)=8
 sizeof(*v)=20
 }}}
 So if I have my hands on an instance of a "pointer" variable, I can get
 the size of the structure pointed to by dereferencing. However, if I want
 to get this straight from the pointer type there doesn't seem to be a
 syntax for it. `sizeof(*pointer)` gives an error ... How do you get that
 information?
