Question:
BC++ 5.02 and C++Builder do not allow sizeof() to take
a template parameter. How do I get around this?
Answer:
The behavior is a result of a bug in BC++ 5.02 and C++Builder.
Borland is aware of the bug. In the interim, the following hack
will get around the problem:
template  class foo {
struct hack {T t; };
enum _sz {SIZE = sizeof(t) };
}
