    Huh. I prefer sizeof without parens, like I prefer return without parens.

    It actually annoys me when I see someone write

    return(0);

    Because it's not a function (our language is too low-level to use
    continuation-passing style), it's magic syntax.

    Sizeof likewise. I tend to use "p = malloc(sizeof *p)" a lot.
    It just reads more nicely, to my eyes, than "p = malloc(sizeof(*p))".

    If I wanted my code to be cluttered with parens, I'd write it in
    Lots of Irritating Silly Parenthese.


    Certainly, tha paren-less style is all over the kernel. It's heavily
    used in arch/x86/boot, for example.

    I guess it's what you're used to.
