sizeof evaluates its argument if and only if it is a vla
(c11 6.5.3.4p2)
in c99 (and c11) vla is created if the size in the array
declarator is not an "integer constant expression"
(c11 6.7.6.2p4)
eg '1 + (int)(void*)0' is not an integer constant expression
because of the pointer cast, but '1 + (int)0' is
(c11 6.6p6)
hence sizeof s[i++] evaluates the argument if NULL has a pointer
cast in it
