"#if sizeof(char *) < sizeof(int)"

----------------------------
   Just to keep other people from getting as confused as I was at first, I
should point out that in the original article complaining about not being
able to use sizeof in a #if line, all occurrences of the string "pcc" should
be replaced with the string "cpp" (pcc = Portable C Compiler,      
cpp = C PreProcessor).  Note also that this is highly implementation-dependent,
i.e. there is nothing requiring a C compiler to have a separate preprocessor
pass, or to call it "cpp".  That happens to be the way UN*X does it.
