[PATCH v5 05/15] vla: enable sizeof operator for indirection

[Sanimir Agovic <sanimir.agovic@intel.com>]

This patch enables the sizeof operator for indirections:

1| void foo (size_t n) {
2|   int vla[n];
3|   int *vla_ptr = &vla;
4| }

(gdb) p sizeof(*vla_ptr)

yields sizeof (size_t) * n.

	* eval.c (evaluate_subexp_for_sizeof) <UNOP_IND>: Create an indirect
	value and retrieve the dynamic type size.
