that's because sizeof() is a c operator (like % and [] and -> and the
unary & and *, etc), not a pre-processor function (like defined()) .

i'm sure you could make gcc's preprocessor do it, but i'd be wary of
having two pieces of code doing the same work, with the distinct
possibility one would get out sync with the other, or just get it
wrong.
