update: there's also a neat gcc extension trick suggested by Arjan:
__builtin_classify_type(). This converts types into integers!
It's not really reliable as it doesn't distinguish well between types.
All the structures, no matter what they contain, have the same id
(which I think only refers to the fact that it is built-in type,
pointer or structure, without differentiation).
The attached code gives the following results:
typeof(a) = 12, sizeof(a) = 136
typeof(b) = 12, sizeof(b) = 8
typeof(c) = 1, sizeof(c) = 4
typeof(d) = 1, sizeof(d) = 4
typeof(e) = 1, sizeof(e) = 4
typeof(f) = 1, sizeof(f) = 1
typeof(g) = 5, sizeof(g) = 4
typeof(h) = 5, sizeof(h) = 4
