[Bug c++/33483] New: New warning suggestion (for -Wall): sizeof() with non-lvalue has side effects that will not execute at runtime

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
Here is a very dangerous situation that compiler can catch illustrated by the
following example: when sizeof has non-lvalue argument.

--- example ---

int f() {
  cout << "I am f" << endl;
  return 5;
}

int main() {
  cout << "sizeof=" << sizeof(f()) << endl; // HERE THE WARNING SHOULD BE
ISSUED
  return (0);
}
