[Bug c/15240] sizeof() doesn't work on struct fields

One possible answer is that contrary to Java, in C and C++ you cannot 
access members of _types_ using type.member. If anything, then this should 
be type::member (in C++), which would fail in your case since the 
member is non-static, though. The dot-operator can only be used to 
access members of _variables_, not _types_.
