Yes, but for most of these sizeof() questions the context seems most
likely to be "I can't do the questions on my C test".

"Passing the class" is probably an even more important - and more deserving
reason - than "I wanna get laid".

I think it is a punishment for missing some homework or something. I
totally agree with the Macro approach. Ask your instructor, What is

to emulate this?

Quandry:

Professor says "get the size of an object without using sizeof".

SO says "don't".
