As a counterexample, sizeof will do the right thing for statically
allocated data, so if you declare buffer as:
char buffer[129];
then sizeof(buffer) will give you the expected 129 because the
compiler will know the size at compile time when sizeof is evaluated.
I *never* use the sizeof operator on a variable, because the type the
compiler thinks the variable is isn't always the type the programmer
thinks the variable is. I only ever use the sizeof operator on a
type, because that will do the right thing in all cases.
