A question about sizeof

[Erkki Ruohtula]

The standard says that "sizeof something_of_array_type" gives the size of the
array, not that of the pointer to the first element. But when does the
"arrayness" disappear in the conversion to pointer? What should
"sizeof (struct_pointer->field_of_array_type)" be? Do the parentheses affect
the interpretation?

There is a compiler that gives the pointer size in the last example, and I am
wondering, whether or not this is a bug.
