For that matter, "print sizeof(X)" should print the

code, even if the compiler has optimized X away to an empty structure!
I disagree. sizeof(X) in the code will return a value as small as
possible in that case (so that malloc-ing an array of structures) does
not waste memory, and the debugger should do the same.
