I thought that I would try something tricky and see if I could
redefine the sizeof operator.  I ran the following code thru
G++ 1.32.0 and it got a segmentation violation in c++.

There are two issues here.  First, it's obvious that the segmentation
violation shouldn't occur.  Second, I think that allowing the sizeof
operator to be redefined would be a nice feature, and consistant
with the general philosophy of letting all operators be redefined.

What does cfront (1.2/2.0) do with this code?

class test {
public:
	virtual operator sizeof();
};
