More specifically the above writes:

"sizeof Returns size of operand in bytes; two forms:
1) sizeof(type)
2) sizeof expression"


Did you read what Harald said: "(x) is a perfectly valid expression"?

... right. However sizeofx doesn't compile and if (x) was considered an
expression it should be sizeof (x), and sizeof(x) shouldn't compile.

Try sizeof(((((((((((((((((((((x)))))))))))))))))))))
and perhaps the answer will come to you.
