Hi,

I noticed in the WP 5.3.3 [expr.sizeof] para 4:

"The lvalue-to-rvalue(4.1), array-to-pointer(4.2), and
function-to-pointer(4.3) standard conversions are not applied to the
operand of sizeof."

I am wondering, if there are any cases where sizeof will give a different
result even if the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion is applied.

No, but it clarifies that the sizeof operator has no side-effects
(such as the ones of accessing the value of a volatile object).
