Research direction
Start in the semantic analyzer and codegen entry points, tracing how existing expressions and scalar types are handled. Determine the intended semantics for sizeof and basic scalar-to-scalar casts from the surrounding implementation. Done means both forms are accepted and correctly represented by semantic analysis and code generation.
