+M14: Always use parenthesis with sizeof
+=======================================
+The expression argument to the sizeof operator should always be in
+parenthesis, too.
+
+Example:
+1)
+memset(stuff, 0, sizeof(*stuff));
+
+2)
+memset(stuff, 0, sizeof *stuff); // Wrong
+
+
O1: Shorten the name
====================
Better to use abbreviation, rather than full name, to name a variable,
