1:
	grep -Hr "sizeof[ *(]struct .* \*.)"  | cut -f2- -d':' | tee ~/tmp/out

2:
	cat ~/tmp/out | perl -wane 'chomp(); my ($left, $right) = split (/sizeof\(/); print $right, "\n";' | cut -f2 -d' ' | sort -u | cut -f1 -d')' | grep -v '^+' | while read i; do echo $i; git grep -q "struct $i {" || echo error; echo; done

3:
	ignore false positives
