   What?! Does that compile?

It prints a Smatch warning.  Smatch ignores these if they happen inside
a macro where you pass a pointer and it takes the sizeof() the argument.
Reading that again, I realize it's not clear.  Smatch ignores these any
time they happen in a macro whether they're valid or not.  (Many times
they are valid).
