I encounter this mistake regularly too.
But you have shown examples why shouldn't we need warning for that.
But I have a different idea. The sizeof operator is usually used to pass buffer
sizes to a function, along with pointer to the buffer itself.
So when you have a function call like:
dumpbuf(a, sizeof(a))
It's almost certainly wrong if `a` is a pointer, isn't it?
So basically the rule would be: if x and sizeof(x) is in the same expression
and x is a pointer, issue a warning.
