coccinelle: Add script to check legal usage of sizeof expression
sizeof when applied to a pointer typed expression gives the size of
the pointer and not the size of the object associated with the pointer
expression leading to errors.
This scripts checks for inconsistencies where sizeof is incorrectly
used, especially while calculating size of memory to be allocated in
memory allocating functions.
Eg:
- memset(pStr, 0, sizeof(pStr));
+ memset(pStr, 0, sizeof(*pStr));
