BTW, its a obvious bug, but I'll add this to the changeset log to
enlighten others ;-)

[acme@jouet c]$ cc -pedantic sizeof_function.c -o sizeof_function
sizeof_function.c: In function âmainâ:
sizeof_function.c:8:46: warning: invalid application of âsizeofâ to a function type [-Wpointer-arith]
printf("sizeof(stat)=%zd, stat=%p\n", sizeof(stat), stat);
^
[acme@jouet c]$ ./sizeof_function
sizeof(stat)=1, stat=0x40063

As my expectation was for this to return sizeof(void *) :-\
